Editorial Reviews

"...half expecting the...evil, murdering whore characterization...I was delighted to find that...Lucretia is a gentle, honest young woman in the midst of a politically turbulent time. Krae does not make the mistake that many historical novelists do...to impose the morals of today onto times past. Alexander VI, Lucretia, Cesare Borgia..., stand or fall by their own actions and the morals of their times... This makes "Lucretia" a real gem to read... Move over Phillipa Gregory and Alison Weir...
