DIDO - May 2009

She imagined Aeneas' black ships sailing out of the harbour, even as the apricot and mauve of the new day broke over Carthage.

Love can be deadly. Especially when two young women fall for the same man – one a queen, the other her serving maid. Elissa knows she is playing with fire, but she can’t resist. Queen Dido suspects nothing, until one fateful night… Secrets are revealed, hearts are broken and as dawn breaks, a terrible tragedy unfolds.
A passionate tale of love, betrayal and revenge.

"...told in a lively and subtle modern way (no quaintnesses here!) which brings a distant world brilliantly to life. Highly recommended." ~ Sophie Masson
