I’ve not read anything from this era, so was more than happy to read this work. It is a tantalising micro-history that makes me keen to read more about this fearless woman called Boudicca, or Boadicea or Boudica. It was interesting to note that Boudicca’s women wore black night attire for sleeping in. But that Druid women and their children, in wagons, also took part in their defense of man and country were gripping cameos too. But the mind-numbing slaughter of the day, vengeance-driven by the sexual assault of her daughters, with numbers and weapons far under par, has me shaking my head. Such bravery, such focus on revenge, especially in a day where women were rated not much higher than cattle. So what will become of this heroine of that day? Will she rise to fight again? Will she succumb?This is surely a tale of inspiration.
