Read the whole series --- historical novels just don't get any better!
read this book. Oh, you may stumble a bit at first over the mouth-filling,
tongue
twisting names but once over that minor hurdle, the events will sweep you
along
with the characters and the incredible detail will make you a mini-authority
so that
you will feel --- at long last --- you've got a handle on Life...not just
the lives of
the characters, or Ancient Romans, but a sense of Life of all people..because
as
many people have already discovered...people are the same around the world,
and
no matter when they lived. Do I recommend this book?
Well, I've read it three times
and the pleasure is never diminished.
