I definitely recommend Circe. It's a novel about the witch from Greek mythology. The author does a great job of descriptions and making mythical places feel very real and concrete and creates characters that (though gods) feel very human.
In general, I agree that unless someone happens to be into Greek literature and mythology, they probably wouldn't make the connection, but there's actually a really popular fiction book out about her right now. https://www.amazon.com/Circe-Madeline-Miller/dp/0316556327/ref=sr_1_1?dchild
PBS Newshour recommended Circe and I bought it for my sister and she liked it.
Great contest!
I recently read Daring Greatly based on a recommendation from another RAoA redditor (u/sleepy_pickle) :) and it was a wonderful read, you'd love it!
On my list I have Circe which I've heard is very good but is on hold times a lot at my local library 😭
