The Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George

5.0

---

What an absolutely wonderful book about the entirety of Cleopatras life. I picked this book because I absolutely adore historical fiction and Cleopatra (and ancient Egypt) was one subject I hadn’t read many books on! George does a wonderful job sucking the reader into Cleopatra’s time. I felt like I was there beside her experiencing everything. The last hundred pages are so are very depressing but i felt was needed. I wanted to cry when I finally finished it because of the finality of it all. Definitely will have a book hangover for weeks after this one!
