Cleopatra's Daughter/ Michelle Moran/ 422 pages

Although this book starts out with the deaths of Antony and Cleopatra, it took until about half way through the book for me to really get interested. When I did, I found it fastinating to read about the lives of the Romans in 30 BC. Lots of things I had learned and forgotten, but some new information too. Mostly, I had never really thought about Cleopatra's children and her twins, Alexander and Selene, are the two main characters. It was interesting to read an interpretation of what their lives might have been like after their parent's deaths. I was happy this book was light on the romance. Selene was an admirable female character.
