I was a teenage Cleopatra
I was not able to finish listening to this one. the narrator's voice was annoying and hard to understand. I doubt the real Cleopatra would have accomplished as much as she did if she had whined like this. She was also supposed to have had a musical voice--not like this narrator.

I originally read this book as a teenager and oh, how I revered Cleopatra.
I found it my old physical copy recently and decided to search for it on audible. I absolutely loved listening to Josephine Bailey’s voice and found myself craving more when it ended. 3 hours slipped by in no time.

I Could See the Story in My Mind's Eye
The Narrator is a perfect match for this book. The tonal quality of the reading was very pleasant, and the storytelling very engaging. I could see the the characters as described by a young Cleopatra who was growing into her eventual role as Queen of Egypt. The events she witnesses shape her, perhaps playing a role in how she will rule over the people of Egypt. The details regarding the supposed personalities of her family, retinue, and political rivals felt true and convincing.

Young Cleopatra
I had to research many books to understand Cleopatra as she is a character in my next book. This book introduced me to a young Cleopatra which really helped me understand why she was the way she was. I am sending one of my characters back in time to meet Cleopatra. Thank you for helping me to understand this powerful young lady and the company she kept.

On a dark, wintry day, Eliza Grey receives a mysterious letter from her ailing Nana Mora begging her to come for a visit. This is an easy "Yes".
