Historical Note

Characters

“[Quinn] skillfully intertwines the private lives of her characters with huge and shocking events. A deeply passionate love story, tender and touching, in the heat and danger of the brutal arena that was ancient Rome . . . Quinn is a remarkable new talent.”

—Kate Furnivall, author of The Girl from Junchow and The Red Scarf

“Equal parts intrigue and drama, action and good old-fashioned storytelling. Featuring a cast of characters as diverse as the champions of the Colosseum, Mistress of Rome is destined to please.”

—John Shors, bestselling author of Beneath a Marble Sky and Dragon House

“Stunning . . . a masterful storyteller. . . . It is no mean feat to write a novel that is both literary and a page-turner.”

—Margaret George, author of Helen of Troy

“Full of great characters . . . So gripping, your hands are glued to the book, and so vivid it burns itself into your mind’s eye and stays with you long after you turn the final page.”

—Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series
