I Am Livia by Phyllis T. Smith

5.0

I got this book so inexpensively through Amazon - not sure if I would have chosen it, but it popped up in my feed and impulse purchased it! Really good writing! The story from the perspective of the woman behind Caesar Octavianus. It is historical fiction, but there are so many historical facts that you get a really good feel for what's going on behind the scenes in the story. Livia Drusilla was the wife of Caesar Octavianus - and a lot of what happens in this story happened in her life. This gives us an idea of what this willful young woman may have felt and thought during her long marriage and long lifetime . . . I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
