Janet L. (planetjanet) reviewed on 3/31/2007 + 28 more book reviews

NY Times best seller by a master story teller, who wrote the Thorn Birds and the Grass Crown. I haven't actually read it, but if you like 900+ pages of a page-turner that got rave reviews according to the cover (from People, Chicago Tribune, Time, LA Times, Washington Post Book World,...) and you like historical novels, in this case about the last days of the Roman republic, this one could be a good choice for you. Also said to have excellent character development, especially of the women characters, who come through as "real human beings facing real and recognizable problems".
