Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff

5.0

informative slow-paced

---

Want to know everything about Cleopatra? Read this book. Stacy Schiff is a hell of a researcher and prepare to send some time reading this book. I read it off and for 2 months, and it’s heavy on the research and the detail, so prepare yourself for that. I read one epic biography a year and this year I think I’ll manage a few, this was a good one.
