5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, poignant and full of hope, 29 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Set in the 4th century of Roman Empire on the eve of its military collapse, the story pits a Greek/Roman noblewoman and a naturalized German prince against the arrogance, corruption and cruelty of an imperial culture they nontheless loved and hoped to preserve. A poignant classic told from the viewpoint of perpetual outsider.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best historical novels I've read, 9 Jan 1998
By A Customer
The Beacon At Alexandria is one of the best historical novels I've read. It really gave me the feeling that the past was a foriegn country, or (for the SF-lover) an alien landscape, painted vividly. But that wasn't the only appeal. What with a strong heroine, intrigue, politics, a "secret identity", narrow escapes, an unrequited love, hardship, rescue, and a happy ending, it really has everything to make an enjoyable, absorbing read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review for The Beacon at Alexandria, 31 Jul 1997
By A Customer
Captivating! It gave me a real insight on what life was like in the 4th century. Gillian Bradshaw did an excellent job, and I'll be looking out for more books by her. The only reason I don't give it a ten is because of the ending-I wanted to know what happened next!
