PART OF THE ACCLAIMED MASTERS OF ROME SERIES
Product Description
Book four in the epic Masters of Rome series.
Rome. 68 BC. Julius Caesar has proved himself a brilliant general. But when he returns to Rome he lays down arms only to take up another battle: this time for political power. This is a war waged with words, plots, schemes, metaphotical assassinations - but also with seduction and guile.
Love is just another weapon in Caesar's political arsenal, for the key to political glory lies with Rome's noblewomen: powerful, vindictive Servilia, whose son Brutus deeply resents his mother's passionate, destructive relationhshiop with Caesar; Rome's revered Vestal Virgins; and even Caesar's own daughter, sacrificed on the altar of his ambition.

The 4th of McCullough's magisterial 'Master of Rome' series, this for me is the best. She reconstructs Caesar's early career from his return from Spain after the death of his first wife, till he leaves for Gaul. Because this is an era which is both little known and yet relatively well-documented, McCullough does an excellent job of sticking to the sources without ever sacrificing imagination and drama. Here she gets to grips now just with life in the Senate amongst the men, but also in the houses of Rome amongst the women: Caesar's formidable mother Aurelia, his lovely and adoring daughter Julia and his spiteful mistress Servilia.
Detailed, fascinating, slightly romaticised and yet compelling this is completely unputdownable.

Colleen McCullough has yet again produced an interesting and thorough historical novel. It is now the 5th book I read from this author and I've never been dissappointed. Ceasar's Women is on the same level as The Grass Crown and The First Man of Rome.

Tedious and laborious read...
Not the intriguing blend of lust and deception that I expected. Heavy on the dialogue and somewhat lacking on compelling action. Read more
