I'd read an Egyptian historical fiction book by this author and saw she had also written this book. Because of how good the first books were, I decided to try another one. This book is set in sixth-century Constantinople, telling the story of a girl who rose from a plebian background, feeding her family on her back, rising to Empress. This author does a great job of writing wonderfully gripping female characters, and bringing history to life. I am eagerly awaiting her next book which will feature the women in Genghis Khan's family.
