“One of my favorite historical novels, this book tells the story of Alexander the Great from the POV of Bagoas, a eunuch who was one of the spoils of Alexander's campaign in Persia. It's lyrically written by Renault who also wrote a biography of Alexander and many other novels set in the ancient Mediterranean world.”
