Pros very well-researched and fascinating
Cons not just about Cleopatra and Antony, but Caesar's military life too 
Recommended it? Yes

NOTE - Dr. Freudine is a fictitious psychiatrist and my alter ego who sometimes helps me to review books, movies and music. Last time she was intrigued with the nonfiction book The Meaning of Mary Magdalene by Cynthia Bourgeault.

Professional Reviews

Yardley, Jonathan, Washington Post: "[Diana Preston is] a thoroughgoing pro. Her research is careful and deep; her prose is lively and graceful; her sympathy for her central character is strong but wholly without sentimentality; her depiction of the worlds in which Cleopatra lived is detailed, textured and evocative. If there is a better book about Cleopatra for today's reader, I don't know what it is."
