This sounds fascinating! I’ve only read about Nero in Claudius the God by Robert Graves (which portrays him as a budding psychopath), and this would be a wonderfully different perspective.

Ooh, yay! I love when authors manage to tell fact-based, but entertaining stories. I’ve been putting off reading this because I saw that it was a duology, but I’d definitely like to pick it up once the second book is out.

In reply to Naomi. Two of my favorites are: Mary, Called Magdalene (because it is a version of her life I've NEVER heard before) and Elizabeth I. I really appreciate historical fiction about women- and not just as support to the men around them.

I have a couple of Margaret George’s books on my shelves, but haven’t read them. Have you read any of her others that you’d recommend?

I was able to take classes on both Greek and Roman history from the same professor, a very talented and engaging man, while I was in college; I still remember lots of the facts, which is merely a testament to his excellent presentation! I love reading these stories; thanks for sharing this one!

Hhhhmmmmm, indeed! Young Nero and ancient Rome do sound just a little like our own dear leader! Thankfully, it sounds like the book was better than reality.
