Hi everyone, hope your having an enjoyable and fun filled summer?
I haven't posted anything in a while but want to treat you to two fantastic books I've read over the last few days. Both books where written by the brilliant Stella Duffy and its based upon the life of Theodora as a theatre performer commoner to become a loved and respected Empress to Emperor Justinian I. The way in which she elevated to this status, I will leave for you to find out in the books. However what I will reveal is that both books, (sequels) have had a positive impact in me. I came to understand the era of what both Theodora and Justinian came from and how they shaped their lives to become great people. The books are both works of fiction but with brilliant research into the times of that era and an equally brilliant writer who wrote the story, Stella Duffy managed to bring the story to life. I haven't enjoyed such great books in a while and felt really connected with the heroine of the story, Theodora. A truly great book, one that I recommend as a must read.
Have a happy and fun filled summer!
