NATIONAL BESTSELLER
An enchanting short story from Madeline Miller that boldly reimagines the myth of Galatea and Pygmalion, now in hardcover for the first time.
A small hardcover edition featuring a new afterword by Madeline Miller
In ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece—the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen—the gift of life. After marrying her, he expects Galatea to please him, to be obedience and humility personified.
But she has desires of her own and yearns for independence.
In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, Galatea is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost . . .

Happy birthday Madeline Miller!
Madeline sits in the highest chair of my literary pantheon, and besides being wildly talented, she is beyond generous and kind. Wishing you the best of birthdays and abundant health. If you haven’t read CIRCE or THE SONG OF ACHILLES, stop everything and read now!
About this clip: Four years ago, I had the privilege of interviewing Madeline (and also, but not pictured in this clip, the amazing author of A BURNING: @megha.maj) through an event hosted by @midtownscholar. I’ve linked the entire conversation in my bio. 🧡

The perfect “me time” read: THE @madeline.e.miller just released GALATEA: a short story retelling the myth of Pygmalion from the woman/statue’s point of view. It is beautiful and brutal and everything we’ve come to love from this superior writer.
