About this listen

A STORY ABOUT FEMALE AMBITION, LEARNING WHERE TRUE POWER LIES, AND EXACTLY WHAT IT COSTS.

'Compelling, relatable characters and a brilliant voice' CONN IGGULDEN
'A tale of power-play, political hope and women's inner strength' ELYSE JOHN
_

Fulvia is the daughter of a wealthy but unimportant Roman family. Raised in the countryside, she longs for a life of intrigue and influence. When her father dies and her inheritance is threatened, Fulvia makes her way to the city of Rome to secure her future.

There she marries a young aristocrat named Clodius, who is more interested in partying with his hedonistic friends than politics. Fulvia is drawn into their world of debauchery, and learns just how precarious the balance of power in the Republic is. Her ambition drives them both to political power that draws the attention of the senate, and more seedy underworld opponents. But Rome is a dangerous place, and power can become notoriety overnight. Fulvia soon learns just how high the stakes really are, and that her ambitions may come at a terrible cost.

Historically sensitive, and very interesting. The first person narrative was expertly read by Beth Eyre, and a combination of the two made this totally believable. I hope Flavia’s life with Marc Antony isn’t too far away!

Seriously excellent stuff
