Cleopatra Confesses

By: Carolyn Meyer

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

It is the first century BC. Cleopatra, the third of the pharaoh’s six children, is the one that her father has chosen to be the next queen of Egypt. But when King Ptolemy is forced into exile, Cleopatra is left alone to fend for herself in a palace rife with intrigue and murder. Smart, courageous, ambitious and sensuously beautiful, she possesses the charm to cause two of history’s most famous leaders to fall in love with her. But as her cruel sisters plot to steal the throne, Cleopatra realizes there is only one person on whom she can rely—herself.

Good story, but missing ending

This book was interesting, but it was an odd ending. A lot of time was spent on her childhood and then after Caesar left, there was just an epilogue and a quick run of the rest of her life. I don’t really understand why we didn’t get to read about more interesting parts of her life. The parts I read were good.
