This weird one is hard to rate. It is a story of two poets in ancient Syracuse who decide to out in a play with the Athenian prisoners in a quarry. I liked the writing style and I like theatre, but I really didn’t like the main character. I felt there were far too many pages devoted to him drinking and complaining. His lack of empathy to the enslaved people he was using as puppets made me uneasy.

A bit of a mixed bag - hard to get into - and takes a while to get going but with a compelling final act and a beautiful conclusion
