The Wedding Shroud by Elisabeth Storrs
5.0

I was looking exactly for this kind of Ancient Roman novel: clash of cultures, Etruscans and a slow burn romance.
Caecilia had a great arc of transformation, esprecially coming from such a patriarchal culture as the Roman one. It felt really good, even if I didn't find all her struggles relatable – but that's okay, we're different persons and I like that.
Also, Mastarna ♥️

It can be read as a standalone, but I highly suggest the following two.
