The Confessions of Young Nero
I have one copy of, THE CONFESSIONS OF YOUNG NERO by Margaret George, for giveaway. Don’t miss out on this one. Please leave a comment below telling me why you would be interested in reading about Nero. Only U.S. addresses, please. And no P.O. boxes. I will choose one winner on Friday, March 10. Good luck!
Margaret George says in her Afterward of the book: ” This novel is my mission to rescue a gifted and remarkable young ruler, who was only sixteen when he became emperor, from what historian David Braund, in his essay”Apollo in Arms: Nero at the Frontier,”calls”the extensive fog of hostility, which clouds and surrounds almost all the historical record on Nero” and “makes historical analysis extraordinarily difficult.”
Many thanks to Berkley, a division of Penguin Random House, for making this giveaway happen. Another great historical tome to add to your Margaret George collection.

Thanks for this fascinating historical which i would enjoy greatly.
This book sounds extremely interesting and the history of this famous man. Many thanks.
I would like to read this since Nero is a larger than life figure in history.
I am fascinated with Rome and this historical era. SPQR was terrific so would like to add this to my knowledge base!
I’d like to read about Nero. I know virtually nothing about the man , even though he is part of a very popular expression. Rome burned while Nero fiddled.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. I always have been fascinated by this man. Thank you for the opportunity.
