Very interesting approach to historic fiction – told in snippets of letters from various perspectives – Augustus' own writings, those of his friends and his enemies, his daughter, etc. Though none from the perspective of his wife, which is interesting in itself. It created more of a distance between myself and the characters in some respects but I did enjoy it and always love reading about Octavius and his family.
