Shepherd is a community of 12,000+ authors and super readers sharing their favorite books with the world.
Honestly, I think this is one of the five or so best novels I've ever read. It's four novellas, actually, and the first and third are just astonishing. The prose is so good it takes your breath away (even though, at times, it can be a bit much).

Livy's monumental History of Rome is a standard in the classical canon, but one thing I think classicists don't often recognize is how the various volumes are so much like novels. The War with Hannibal, Books XXI-XXX, has everything: world-conquering heroes and villains, ransacked cities, civilizations lost and reborn, small moments of hope and despair, great loves, tragic heartbreaks. Truly, I didn't know that history could be so fun, or even so suspenseful.
