Well-paced and exciting. Would make a great movie.
Powerful and profound? Perhaps not, but at least that means it shouldn't give you nightmares.
Claudia: Daughter of Rome - Antoinette May -
takes a different view on roman life
lots of characters which gets confusing.
The Guardian - Nicholas Sparks -
Mysterious and dark
I guessed a lot of it before it happened
The Woman in the Fifth - Douglas Kennedy -
