The Vesuvius Mosaic

by Joyce Hannam

'We have some wonderful mosaics in Pompeii, but I've never seen a better one than this!' After the young Roman mosaic designer Felix starts work in Pompeii, his whole life changes. There he falls in love with the beautiful Greek slave Agathe, who can see into the future. When the volcano Vesuvius sends hot ash over the city, Felix - and Agathe's brother Alcander - ride to the port of Misenum for help. But will they reach admiral Gaius Plinius in time, and will they ever see Agathe alive again?

I picked this book to read in my freetime because 'the Vesuvius Mosaic' is a short book. I thought it might take only a few hours to finish; however, I took two days to finish it. (Perhaps it was just my problem, haha.) This book tells us about the main protagonist who is a mosaicist in Italy and later he needs to survive the eruption of the Vesuvius. As a short story, I think the book does not give us that much detail and feeling, still, it gives us the story and events that we should know about what happens in people's life that is...well, rather sufficient.

Some of you might enjoy it.
Anyway, I think I prefer reading longer books with more detail after all! Ha!

Reading this means you will be in a tense atmosphere, a son's revenge, and the smell of death. 😁
