Zenobia--a fascinating story
4. September 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I would not have guessed that events and characters in third century Roman Syria would be compelling, but they come alive in this encompassing and powerful novel.
The Chronicle of Zenobia reads like a Doctor Zhivago of the ancient world. It is a drama of love and betrayal, of epic battles, of triumphs and disappointments, of bravery and human frailty, of lofty ideals and, if you were wondering, steamy sex too. Even if the setting is far distant in time and place, the emotions are familiar to all of us.
The author obviously knows her subject and manages to be erudite and (from what I can figure out) historically accurate and true to the sources while telling a riveting story. In a way, it is good, old-fashioned storytelling, engaging, at times spellbinding. The writing is rich, eloquent, and evocative, sometimes even haunting. Because of the complexity it is not easy reading--but it is rewarding. You feel as if you've been there.

History brought to Life....., 24 Aug 2006
Reviewer: A. Tolmie (Italy) - See all my reviews
I loved this book! I expected to find it a bit dry, but instead was completely gripped. The historical background is rich and colourful in its detail, and the characters really came alive for me. This is History made real, and I recommend it to anybody interested in Roman history or in the history of the Middle East!!

To entertain divine Zenobia!
15. August 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is very good entertainment.I enjoyed it and am waiting for part 2. It is almost always extremely accurate historically, as you would expect from its archaeologist author, and the pace is fast. It really brings to life the ancient sites and countryside, peopling them with credible characters. The battle scenes are particularly well done. I loved the use the author makes of ancient sources, weaving in poetry and prose from Greek and Mesopotamian epics, lyrics, novels, histories - you name it, she's got it. She even quotes a saint's life by Saint Jerome!
However, there is a bit too much sex for my tastes - Saint Jerome must be turning in his grave!
