The Memoirs Of Cleopatra by Margaret GeorgeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
To pick up a Margaret George novel is to experience a well-researched epic work. The Memoirs of Cleopatra is no exception.
George presents a very intimate story of the legendary Cleopatra, who took a bankrupt, teetering country to its pinnacle of wealth, prosperity and influence, despite overwhelming setbacks and obstacles.
My only quibble, as always with George's work, is a certain reservation in the depth of her characters which she tends to move around on the board of her story like set pieces.
Beyond that, an absorbing read.
