Reviews

""A stirring, addictive and intoxicating tale with a deft weaving of myth and history. Emotionally rich and lyrically genius, Babylonia cements Costanza Casati as one of the most skilled and exciting writers of historical fiction, bringing an incomparable vibrance to the genre. An incredible novel."" -- Bea Fitzgerald, bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen ""I was up late reading Babylonia last night--it's a work of art. Even better than Clytemnestra. How does Costanza do this? Brava a thousand times--this is a masterpiece."" -- Elodie Harper, international bestselling author of The Wolf Den ""There is an entrancing quality to Costanza Casati's writing that transports us to other worlds and past times, then holds us there--willingly enmeshed in story--until the final page is turned. Reading Babylonia is like reading an enchantment on the page, in which the unfathomable heroines of legend and history become living people, who suffer, bleed, dare, and love; they carve out their space in our hearts, and in our shared humanity."" -- Annie Garthwaite, author of Cecily ""To read Babylonia is to witness something special. Incredibly richly drawn, sensuous in its imagery of gold and animals, clay pressed images and shadow, it's superbly done. Semiramis herself is a brilliant character--one you will care very much for."" -- Conn Iggulden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Emperor and Conqueror series
