The novel ‘Circe’- by Madeline Miller (published -2018) was discussed by FLO Chennai members, Spark Book champions and Ashu Lodha, Spark Head. The novel is a historic retelling about on a sorceress named Circe, based on Greek Mythology. 34 members registered and 29 attended the event.
Event was hosted at Sobe Decor (a lifestyle store) by Flo member Nivedita Jagdeesh and took place between 3.30 and 5.30 pm. This was followed by a Greek themed High tea specially curated by the host in keeping with the theme of the novel and the event was very well recieved and enjoyed by all present. In keeping with the theme, an icebreaker activity was planned by the host. Participants were given chits with the beginning of a sentence with the name and power of a Greek God and they were asked to complete the sentence with what they would do with that particular power.
The participants were very excited about this activity and every member present spoke. This was followed by a interactive Q&A session moderated by the Spark Book Champions. 10 minute at the end of the session was earmarked for discussing similarities and differences between Indian and Greek mythology.
