5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant historical re-construction of Caesar's early political life, 17 Nov 2006
By Roman Clodia (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another thorough and interesting book, 16 Jul 1999
By A Customer
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.
