pick25-7 Nov 23 (audiobook)
A weak pick. Schmidt admits there are few historical, and barely any contemporary, sources for her biography of Cleopatra and perhaps that is the problem. I am not sure I finished with a great deal more information than I began with: Cleopatra was a beloved queen of Egypt who had two great affairs, with Caesar and Mark Antony respectively, and ultimately killed herself by asp bite. Apparently that last fact is doubtful.
Thank you @Itchyfeetreader for my #staycationintime package! I'm looking forward to spending some time in Ancient Egypt with these queens and some chocolate!

pickFinished this re-read last night for #BookedInTime and Wow! talk about trusting no one, especially family!
Cleopatra was definitely a force to be reckoned with; and if she wasn't forced to hitch her train to Marc Antony bc men wouldn't be lead be a mere woman, all roads would've lead to Alexandria instead of Rome.
For the second time this book left the impression that Cleopatra's great love was not Antony but Julius Caesar.
Darkness, cold stone under her fingertips, shadows dancing on the walls, torches flickering in the downdraught of the tunnels.

Rereading this for August #BookedInTime #AncientRomanCivilization I read it 23 years ago when it first came out and LOVED it, so I'm glad for a reason to reread
pick"Egypt's Sister" is about a girl whose best friend ends up becoming a queen.
Chava's dad is a tutor to the royal children. Urbi is a princess who becomes Cleopatra.
They once vowed to be forever loyal to each other, but Chava is betrayed and sold into slavery. Her faith keeps her going.
This is the first book in The Silent Years series. The silent years refers to the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments in the Bible.
I really enjoyed this mini-series on Netflix which matched up very well with this book which I read with a group here on Litsy awhile ago. And just like the book..is getting very mixed reviews…and is apparently a scandal because they made Cleopatra (gasp) Black. 🙄
I really enjoyed both personally and would recommend.
