A review by kassi_kennedy
The Confessions of Young Nero by Margaret George

5.0

I don't know if Margaret George is especially talented at writing about Rome or if it is my own interest in these characters that makes this book and Memoirs of Cleopatra so special to me, but I loved reading this book.

There is an almost mythical darkness in the story and I think it would speak to anyone simply because it's archetypal. I would highly recommend this book to any person interested in historical fiction and, if Nero is not an interesting character for you, I'd recommend Memoirs of Cleopatra as Geroge wrote exceedingly well in that book as well.
