A review by aimeeslittlelibrary
The Emperor's Babe by Bernardine Evaristo

4.0

A totally unexpected story of a young girl in Roman London, first love, friendship and ambition gold through poetry. I was blown away by the unique voice and style. The poetry at times seems a means to the plot, and at other times a vital moment of art. Evaristo knows exactly when to push and pull with the poetry and pacing. It was marvellous. A must read for lovers of history.
