Cleopatra: Daughter of the Nile
Description:
For lovers of classic historical fiction, a sumptuous and enthralling novel about history’s most intriguing queen from internationally bestselling author, Colin Falconer.
"This is the riveting story of Egypt's last and greatest queen ... creating a vivid portrait of an unforgettable woman who thrived and triumphed in a world ruled by men." - Publishers Weekly
Cleopatra is barely more than a girl when she inherits an empire stretching from the scorched deserts of lower Egypt to the shining Mediterranean metropolis of Alexandria, with its famed library and lighthouse.
But it is Rome, not Egypt, that rules the world. Her rule is constantly imperilled by court conspiracies and Roman treachery. She survives through her alliances with the great Julius Caesar, a wily politician and battle-hardened general with a weakness for women; and the charismatic but reckless Marc Antony. The love affair between Antony and Cleopatra remains one of the ancient world's greatest love affairs.
But when the tide finally turns against her, she plots a last, spectacular manoeuvre to save her children and her empire.
Perfect for fans of Margaret George, Colleen McCullough and Wilbur Smith.
Cleopatra was originally published in the US as When We Were Gods, and has since been translated into seven languages. It was a bestseller in Brazil, Australia and Germany.
