In the Shadow of Monsters by GS Carberry

An exceptional read from beginning to end. Every page brings together historical facts weaved together with compelling storytelling. I enjoyed this immensely and would read this again. An absolute masterpiece!

★★★★★

For someone who doesn’t read many books (or leave reviews about them!) this one compelled me to do so on both counts! Splendid read, well researched with a fast pace (something I really do need!) Couldn’t recommend highly enough, will be looking out for what’s next!

★★★★★

A wonderful book about a personal journey in a time of real chaos and confusion. Exciting to find a compelling new writer in the category, especially one who can seamlessly combine excitement with powerful human relationships.
