This novel is a retelling of Queen Dido of Carthage and her journey from sheltered princess to a formidable and beloved leader. She makes difficult choices and sacrifices along the way in order to improve the lives of those who are left in her care. Her reign, the struggles between duty and love, and her passion for a Trojan-born Aeneas . . . an epic path layered with triumph and heartache.
I recommend this book to fans of Historical Fiction, Mythology, and Domestic Drama.
I thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of The Wandering Queen for my unbiased evaluation. 3.5 stars
