Description

Theodora Actress, Empress, Whore by Stella Duffy In sixth century Constantinople, a young woman's fate is all but sealed. After her father's death, she is forced into near slavery to survive. Yet, as she learns to control her body on stage and for the men who can afford it, Theodora begins to shape a very different destiny for herself. From the vibrant streets of Constantinople to the holy desert retreats of Alexandria, this extraordinary novel brings to life one of history's most fascinating women. With its vivid setting and unflinching portrayal of a complex individual, Stella Duffy's breathtaking new novel is an imaginative achievement that will appeal to readers.
