Caesar’s Wife Must Be Above Suspicion

Fiction

“MacQueen’s richly detailed reimagining of the greatest crisis of the Roman Republic is historically authentic, psychologically penetrating, and rendered in bright, clear prose. We follow Caesar, Cicero, Pompey, Brutus, Calpurnia, Antony, Cleopatra, and others through the twists of a highly compelling plot, as men more courageous and public spirited than us—alas!—fight to preserve the precious freedom and dignity bequeathed by their forefathers. This splendid and timely novel is historical fiction at its best.”
