First Line: "Warmth. Wind. Dancing blue waters, and the sound of waves. I see, hear, feel them all still."
Industry Reviews
"[T]he author does an admirable job of evoking the place, the times, the local life: chariot races, gladiatorial contests, triumphal parades, voluptuous feasts and the like....George superbly unearths, recreates or invents anecdotes, dialogues and adventures....The author's research is awesome; she seems to know every detail of the foods, costumes and customs of Egypt, Rome and their colonies....[Cleopatra's] 'memoirs' are vivid and enthralling. Read them."
