Description

The Emperor's Babe A Novel by Bernardine Evaristo is a coming-of-age tale set in ancient Rome. Zuleika, a young girl from a modern world, finds herself married off to a powerful Roman, and her life is turned upside down. With her sharp wit and determination, she navigates the complexities of ancient society, where slave girls and drag queens coexist with lavish villas and poverty-stricken slums.

This vibrant novel is a joyful mash-up of past and present, told in song and verse. Evaristo's writing brings to life the world of Londinium, AD 211, where Zuleika must confront the challenges of being a woman and surviving in a brutal yet thrilling world.

With its unique blend of history and poetry, The Emperor's Babe A Novel is a transformative and deeply affecting story that will leave you breathless.
