The Love-Artist by Jane Alison was a really interesting book to read. Set in ancient Rome and centering around the story of Ovid this is a fascinating fictional look at a portion of his life. The story was inspired by the few remaining lines from one of his works, Madea:
"I gave you your life. Now you're wondering, will I take it, too?"
The author built a marvelous story around the person that inspired those lines as well as the entire work.
This is a fast and wonderful read. For historical fiction it captures your interest and your imagination from the first page.
