| Who has read Coleen McCullough's "First Man in Rome" historical fiction series? |
|
I got the 2nd to last book of the series, "The October Horse", from the thrift store I work at and it blew me away. The book encompasses the period from the death of Pompey The Great, through Caesar's assassination, up through the victory of Mark Antony and Octavian over Brutus and Cassius at Philippi. McCullough shows all these famous historical figures as so very human.
