Royal intrigue and cutthroat politics abound in this work of historical fiction. Ruler and seductress Cleopatra relates the events of her life from age ten through twenty-two; an epilogue summarizes the ensuing years and her death. Brief chapters and confident first-person narration provide readers with an intimate (highly fictionalized) view of one of history's most fascinating, charismatic, and mysterious female regents. Timeline, websites. Bib.
