Enemies at Home: A Flavia Albia Novel | Lindsey Davis

The second installment in what is quickly becoming a favorite series. Flavia Albia is an immensely pleasing and fascinating character: I simply love being in her head and heart as she navigates Roman society and defies all the conventions that society tries to put onto her. Happy to know I have a few more in the series to look forward to! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

rwmg Have you read her first series about Falco, Flavia Alba's adoptive father? 3y

BookNAround I just read the first Flavia Alba mystery and quite enjoyed it. 3y

MamaGina @rwmg I haven‘t, but I understand there are about 20 of them! I think I will give them a try too. The things Flavia says about he and his wife make me want to know more about them. 3y

rwmg The Jupiter Myth (Falco 13) tells the story of how Falco and Helena came to adopt Flavia 3y

MamaGina @rwmg Thank you for telling me that, I will definitely want to read that one! 3y

Enemies at Home: A Flavia Albia Novel | Lindsey Davis

Continuing my Roman reading, I grabbed this audiobook from the public library‘s digital stack and am enjoying it as much as I did with the first one. It doesn‘t have the seriousness of Bernard Cornwell‘s Fools and Mortals, which I just finished. But I don‘t need it to be. I like being transported to Ancient Rome as a prompt for my imagination for our upcoming trip. ⁣

ladyonequestion Have you read any of Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series? One of my favourite series about Rome. 6y

CoffeeCatsBooks I also love books set in Ancient Rome. I really like Robert Harris‘ Cicero series. 6y

HardcoverHearts @ladyonequestion and @CoffeeCatsBooks - these are great recommendations! Thank you both! 6y

marleed @ladyonequestion I read First Man in Rome years ago and really got into it. I kept a chart of all the names to help. Piles of male names ending in ‘ius‘. Most people assume my cat Marius was named for Les Mis. Nope, this book! 6y

"‘Stick with him. I can be at the Esquiline in time. Let me exercise a watching brief.‘ Always a useful phrase. State officials use ‘watching brief‘ to imply they will be observing an activity, yet will not interfere. That leaves them free to interfere like energetic billygoats." - Enemies at Home by Lindsey Davis.

"My father reckons castanets are always suspect − but most Roman men get excited when talking about foreign female entertainers. My mother points out that it is not necessary to have a big bosom to play the lyre well; in fact the opposite. Too much anatomy gets in the way." - Enemies at Home by Lindsey Davis.
