This novella about a women trapped within a loveless marriage in 79 AD Pompeii is smoothly crafted and turned out to be a genuine joy to read. L. J. Holmes and Kat Holmes have created a brave and compassionate heroine in Daria, and as they go about chronicling her daily life, amid cultural excesses and domestic duties, the impending darkness of the day transforms the characters lives, and a tender love story emerges. Like a delicate piece of glass sculpture, this read should be cherished and savored. I highly recommend this historical gem.
