Odd but interesting book, the first part is very good, the second part is very compelling, and overall it's a reasonably satisfying read.

These days I read few real [non-genre] novels, but this one intrigued me. Two people meet and fall in love while taken hostage in a Middle-Eastern country where Cleopatra’s sister once ruled, but the romance, to me, was somewhat anti-climatic; the first part of the book alternated between telling the lives of Howard and Lucy before they met, interspersed with the author’s historical musings and insights. I would probably enjoy other works by this author.
