The Golden Mean
by Annabel Lyon
A very authentic historical novel. I didn't like the structure so much, to me it hindered really getting into the story. However, it also prevented long descriptions and repetitive scenes.
The Golden Mean is an incredibly intelligent book that makes you think. When I finished it I wanted to start again to look for more clues, more hints about Alexander, about everything. The characters were amazingly portrayed. But then again, I would have liked more interaction between them - especially between Aristotle and Arrhidaeus. The violence mentioned now and then and in the afterword quite disturbed me in the light of all the intellectual, calm scenes and moments of the stories before.
