Circe
Madeline Miller · Little, Brown and Company (New York) · 2018
US precedes — the reverse of The Song of Achilles, which is exactly the trap on this author. Little, Brown (US) published on 10 April 2018, confirmed by both the author's own site and the standard reference record; Bloomsbury issued the UK edition afterwards. Both editions are collected and both should be named. One caveat, stated plainly: sources disagree on the exact UK date — the reference record and UK trade listings give 19 April 2018, while Miller's own site announced "May 3rd in the UK." The discrepancy does not disturb precedence; on every source consulted the US edition precedes the UK by weeks. The 2025 Folio Society illustrated edition (Julie Dillon, slipcased, gilt top edge) is "first thus" only.
