Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome by Robert Harris

3.0

---

This book is perfectly fine but I found that if any sort of distraction came along I’d be swayed, the book forgotten. There’s nothing wrong with it, the voice of Tiro about the events that led to Cicero’s consulship is affable and endearing but at a time when contemporary politics and in particular women/gender issues so horrifically pointed the slight digs to indicate different times just grated. I will probably read the next book, Lustrum, but I’m not in any great rush
