A review by rpjtown
I Am Livia, by Phyllis T. Smith
4.0
Phyllis Smith's novel about the life of Livia Drusilla gives us a kinder gentler Livia than other's.
Written from the perspective of an aged Livia the novel reviews her life from the assassination of Julius Caesar through to Augustus' victories over Mark Anthony. The story is an intensely personal account of these tumultuous times and is very well written.
I throughly enjoyed reading this and was left wanting to more when the novel ended.
