Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore
Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore: A Novel | Stella Duffy
2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
"A bravura performance: a witty, moving, sexy book that bursts with as much color and excitement as the city of Constantinople itself." -Financial Times Roman historian Procopius publicly praised Theodora of Constantinople for her piety-while secretly detailing her salacious stage act and maligning her as ruthless and power hungry. So who was this woman who rose from humble beginnings as a dancer to become the empress of Rome and a saint in the Orthodox Church? Award-winning novelist Stella Duffy vividly recreates the life and times of a woman who left her mark on one of the ancient world's most powerful empires. Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore is a sexy, captivating novel that resurrects an extraordinary, little-known figure from the dusty pages of history.

I am soooo exhausted now but I've had a brilliant day romping around London in the sunshine for my #LondonBookShopCrawl this is the final haul it's not enormous but 'twas still more than I can probably afford! I managed 11 shops in all which seems like a small number but it was about 20 miles of walking heheh and I spent a lot of time browsing, now for a chill evening of wine and reading with my feet up!

TrishB Looks like you had a fab day 😀 8y
