About
The favored daughter of the Pharaoh, Egyptian Princess Cleopatra spent her childhood hiding amid the scrolls in the great library of Alexandria, dreaming of one day writing her own story. When her father dies, naming both Cleopatra and her selfish brother Ptolemy as his successors to the throne, danger arises. While the young Queen sails the Nile to greet her people, her brother plots to eliminate her and rule the empire alone. But while Ptolemy has the power of the kingdom behind him, Cleopatra has her cunning wits. When the great Caesar arrives from Rome, she realizes he could be the key to her salvation--though courting this powerful man could cost her everything. Can Cleopatra save her life, her throne, and her beloved Egypt and finally write her own history? Told from the dueling perspectives of Cleopatra and Caesar's mistress Servilia, Cleopatra is a powerful, addictively readable retelling of the alluring queen's life. A modern retelling that goes beyond previous caricatures, Cleopatra is a fascinating portrait of the flesh-and blood-woman behind the great legend. Natasha Solomons' spellbinding story of female power and fragility, love and loss, fierce friendship and terrible betrayal introduces at last the real Cleopatra in all her glory and vulnerability.
