Review
"Shecter, author of nonfiction books on Alexander the Great and Cleopatra VII, moves her scholarly interest in ancient Egypt seamlessly into the fictional realm with this dramatic account of the life of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra VII and Marc Antony. . . . Shecter brings ancient Egypt and Rome to life with vivid period details and a fascinating take on a neglected historical figure." - Booklist
"[A]n intelligently written and stately meditation on fate, free will, and political power, a worthy challenge for readers up to it." --Horn Book
"In Cleopatra's Moon, Vicky Alvear Shecter takes a little bit of historical white space and a feisty, feminist heroine and weaves a beautiful novel of love and country.... Cleopatra's Moon is rich in authentic details, including faith. It never slows.... Her story of love and power satisfies." -- Jewish Book World, starred review
"Well written and painstakingly researched, this book will be a wonderful addition to advanced history reading lists and for students who like a fascinating story...." -- Voice of Youth Advocates
