Abia am așteptat să apară această carte și am vânat-o cu adevărat, până a apărut online. Marea surpriză este că povestirea scriitoarei Madeline Miller este într-un format foarte mic (cam cât un vocabular) și foarte scurtă. Daaaar, asta nu înseamnă că lectura nu a fost pe măsura așteptărilor. Miller și-a imaginat-o pe Galateea ca pe o statuie adusă la viață, iar durerea și frumusețea acesteia reies din fiecare filă scrisă cu enorm talent. O lectură superbă pentru o dimineață de weekend.
