"**For fans of Madeline Miller's *Circe*, a stunning debut following Clytemnestra, the most notorious villainess of the ancient world and the events that forged her into the legendary queen.**

*As for queens, they are either hated or forgotten. She already knows which option suits her best...*

You were born to a king, but you marry a tyrant. You stand by helplessly as he sacrifices your child to placate the gods. You watch him wage war on a foreign shore, and you comfort yourself with violent thoughts of your own. Because this was not the first offence against you. This was not the life you ever deserved. And this will not be your undoing. Slowly, you plot.

But when your husband returns in triumph, you become a woman with a choice.

Acceptance or vengeance, infamy follows both. So, you bide your time and force the gods' hands in the game of retribution. For you understood something long ago that the others never did.

If power isn't given to you, you have to take it for yourself.

**A blazing novel set in the world of Ancient Greece for fans of Jennifer Saint and Natalie Haynes, this is a thrilling tale of power and prophecies, of hatred, love, and of an unforgettable Queen who fiercely dealt out death to those who wronged her."**

Our book club meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month.

We select the books at our October meeting for the following year. Recommendations are always welcome for choosing the books for the next year!

Looking forward to seeing you and hearing your thoughts, as always!

Attendance policy reminder: Please update your RSVP if your plans change prior to the event. Members are allowed two no-shows per year and then will be removed the group. We do keep the RSVP list open until the event in case of emergencies, etc - so if needed, changing your RSVP 15 minutes before will not count as a no-show. If you are on the waitlist, we recommend reading the book as there are usually a few spots that free up.
