Praise for Lily of the Nile "In this account of the fate of Cleopatra's daughter in the household of Augustus Caesar, Dray reveals the same events we've seen in Rome and I, Claudius from a very different perspective, that of a teenage girl. Cleopatra Selene has unusual gifts and problems, but her struggle to understand herself and her destiny is universal. The glimpses of the cult of Isis leave one wanting to know more, and the story keeps you turning the pages until the end."--Diana L.
