Of course, it helps that I love reading about ancient Egypt. This book is about Cleopatra&#8217;s daughter, Selene, and what befell her after Octavian conquered Egypt. The descriptions of Egypt and Rome during Selene&#8217;s time period were fascinating, and even more interesting were the machinations and power struggles surrounding Octavian, involving not only his advisers but his family members as well.<br>I liked this book so much that I ordered a hardback copy of it (I originally read it on my Kindle). Any book that I willingly add to the already large amounts of clutter in my house definitely deserves a place of honor!<br><br><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/1396812-may\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cleopatra&#8217;s Daughter by Michelle Moran My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have really enjoyed all of Michelle Moran&#8217;s books that I have read, but this one is one of my favorites.
