Happy 4th of July to all of my readers from the US and hello to the rest of you! I hope you are all having a fabulous day! Welcome to another Mailbox Monday. This week I received one book for review and it sounds promising.

SYNOPSIS
"The Luxe" meets the ancient world in the extraordinary story of Cleopatra's daughter.
Selene has grown up in a palace on the Nile with her parents, Cleopatra & Mark Antony--the most brilliant, powerful rulers on earth. But the jealous Roman Emperor Octavianus wants Egypt for himself, & when war finally comes, Selene faces the loss of all she's ever loved. Forced to build a new life in Octavianus's household in Rome, she finds herself torn between two young men and two possible destinies--until she reaches out to claim her own.
This stunning novel brings to life the personalities & passions of one of the greatest dramas in history, & offers a wonderful new heroine in Selene.
Cleopatra's Moon sounds wonderful! I can't wait to read it! I really enjoyed Cleopatra's Daughter, which is (obviously) also about Selene, although they call her Cleopatra Selene there.

Cleopatra has always been such a glamorous person in history with so many people trying to play her character all the way from Elizabeth Taylor to women dressing up as her at Halloween. I look forward to reading this book!

Huh. There's be a real trend of books about Kleopatra Selene recently. First Cleopatra's Daughter, then Lily of the Nile, now this one. Weird.
ReplyDeleteCLEOPATRA'S MOON sounds like it will be a most interesting book. I look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything about Cleopatra's Daughter...this one sounds good!
