Genuinely cannot overstate how much I love this book.

Atmosphere
Taylor Jenkins Reid
The Odyssey
Homer
Fagles: ”Calypso, the bewitching nymph, the lustrous goddess, held him back.”
Wilson: ”Calypso, a great goddess, had trapped him in her cave; she wanted him to be her husband.”
Right off the bat some major tone differences! F’s is very mythical, while W tells it like it is — she wants him so she trapped him.
Which do y’all prefer?
