Fortune's Favorites | Colleen McCullough
9 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
With incomparable storytelling skill, New York Times bestselling author Colleen McCullough brings Rome alive in all her majesty and illuminates the world of those favored by the gods at birth.In a time of cataclysmic upheaval, a bold new generation of Romans vied for greatness amid the disintegrating remnants of their beloved Republic. They were the chosen...and the cursed blessed with wealth and privilege yet burdened by the dictates of destiny in a savage struggle for power that would leave countless numbers crushed and destroyed. But there was one who would tower above them all a brilliant and beautiful boy whose ambition was unparalleled, whose love was legend, and whose glory was Rome's: a boy they would one day call "Caesar.""

Choosing just three favorites is basically impossible so here are three that were 5-star reads for me that I often recommend:
1. The Orphan Master‘s Son (for understanding of North Korea); 2. Where‘d you go Bernadette (for humor); and 3. Betsy-Tacy (for feel good nostalgia). Thanks for the tag @Sace tagging @Leftcoastzen @LeahBergen @merelybookish I don‘t know who has already participated.

rubyslippersreads Betsy-Tacy! ❤️❤️❤️ 4y

En unos tiempos convulsos para la República, una nueva generación de romanos compite por la gloria. Bndecidos por los dioses al nacer, uno de ellos destaca por encima de todos. Se trata de un joven, Julio César, que consigue librarse de sus obligaciones sacerdotales y demuestra su inteligencia brillante y un valor extraordinario que lo convertirán en un héroe celebérrimo de la historia romana.
