I must admit, I'm a sucker for almost anything set in ancient Rome. The tumult, the marble, the breastplates, the decadence - it all fascinates me. And when I started reading Kate Quinn's DAUGHTERS OF ROME, I expected to be drawn right in; after all, it doesn't take much for me.

What I did not expect to be as enthralled as I am; not only does Ms Quinn's second novel (her first is the bestselling MISTRESS OF ROME) brim with witty dialogue and marvelous descriptions, but her four women protagonist ...more

This wasn't my cup of tea. For being historical fiction, it was very light. This isn't particularly a bad thing for me, but it felt so cheesy and cheap. It felt like 'National Enquirer' for this time period. That didn't work for me. The words "slut" and "whore" were completely overused. It was like an episode of the Jerry Springer show. These 'historical' women felt way to contemporary (with their attitudes and speech) for this time period. They could have been teleported from the world today.

How does one remain strong when the world and the life that you have built falls apart around you? Daughters of Rome answered this question in the simplest way possible; one just keeps on living. In the "Year of the Four Emperors in Ancient Rome" it would appear that the turmoil was a constant factor of life, but the four main characters in this book; Cornelia, Marcella, Lollia and Diana not only overcome adversity but prove themselves in their own unique way that they are strong women who will ...more

This novel does a great job of immersing the reader in the nuances of daily Roman life without coming across as grandstanding (I hate when authors throw nifty facts at me for the sake of showing off their research skills).

This novel does a great job of immersing the reader in the nuances of daily Roman life without coming across as grandstanding (I hate when authors throw nifty facts at me for the sake of showing off their research skills). The casual references to menu, dress and customs are seamlessly incorporated into the flow of the narrative and don't feel forced at all.

Quinn maintains an energetic pace with a detailed plot full of suspense; I constantly wanted to flip the page to find out what happened next. Basically, four female relatives, called the Cornelias, try to survive one of the most turbulent years in Roman history (Year of 4 Emperors). To do so, each one follows a different path. While the four heroines share a name and a (largely) patrician family history, they are not carbon copies of each other and are fleshed out with vibrant personalities and singular coping mechanisms. All four of them undergo changes to their outlooks on life, love and duty. It was a fascinating journey to watch how Rome's upheaval affected each of their destinies, desires and personalities.

The only cons to the book are more a reflection of my personal tastes (i.e., my laziness as a reader) than of the writer's skill. I like the point of view to be utterly clear. This book's narrative flows around the four Cornelias, sometimes switching POV from one paragraph to the next. I'm getting old, because I find it exhausting to have to stop and think about which voice I'm reading now. A related issue is the writer's tendency to jump time frames. I'd have to stop, go back and re-read a passage to figure out that the 2 or 3 conversations portrayed actually took place at different times. Again, that's my personal preference; I'm too lazy to enjoy intellectually challenging narrative styles.

Overall, I'd recommend if you like historical fiction that offers a slice-of-life perspective of an era, have a fondness for Roman times or like to read about strong women battling for their place in the world with whatever tools society allows them. And if you like gorgeous, golden Gaul body slaves, well, that's an added bonus. ...more

I read this after reading Lindsey Davis's wonderful book, The Course of Honor, which covers similar territory. Compared to that book this one was just okay.

The author is a good story teller--after the first few chapters which seemed dull and left me wondering what the book was going to be about. But the real problem for me was how anachronistic so much of it felt.

The characters' language is full of very recent slang--slang that if you read it in a contemporary novel would define a character as ...more

I read Kate Quinn's debut, Mistress of Rome, last year and found it an extremely enjoyable read, so I'd been looking forward to her follow-up ever since and snapped it up as soon as it was released. Daughters of Rome is based on real events (in this case the Year of Four Emperors), but unlike Mistress, which had one central character, it takes a more sweeping, politically orientated view of the time it depicts, with the focus on four cousins who become entangled in these events. These women are I read Kate Quinn's debut, Mistress of Rome, last year and found it an extremely enjoyable read, so I'd been looking forward to her follow-up ever since and snapped it up as soon as it was released. Daughters of Rome is based on real events (in this case the Year of Four Emperors), but unlike Mistress, which had one central character, it takes a more sweeping, politically orientated view of the time it depicts, with the focus on four cousins who become entangled in these events. These women are Cornelia, a devoted wife with ambitions to become the next Empress; Marcella, a scheming writer who records the lives of the emperors and becomes increasingly preoccupied with making history; Lollia, a rich, party-loving heiress who nevertheless has the biggest heart of all the cousins; and Diana, who is young and beautiful but cares for nothing but horses, racing and her dream of becoming a charioteer.

The book was as exciting, involving and action-packed as I expected. It races along at a cracking pace, taking in everything from secret affairs, decadent banquets and true love to war, suicide and political intrigue. As I know little about the era, I can't comment on how accurate Quinn's portrayal of Rome in AD 69 actually is, but it certainly feels very well-researched and is full of entertaining details; many of the characters are embellished versions of real-life historical figures, which certainly adds interest. There's plenty of sex and violence, but the characters are well-developed too and you really come to care about what happens to them. Only Diana seems a bit two-dimensional - is anyone actually this obsessed with horses?! - but she gets a great ending, and Lollia in particular progresses wonderfully from a seemingly unpleasant spoilt girl to a warm, delightful character.

If you liked the author's debut, you will LOVE this book. Some of the characters overlap, and there are bits of foreshadowing which will be enjoyable for anyone who's read Mistress (it made me want to go back and read it again immediately!) I did miss having a variety of narrative voices - I'm kind of surprised at the absence of this, as the author pulled it off so well in her first book - but perhaps it would have been confusing in a story with four main characters. I also didn't think Marcella really deserved her fate and felt quite sorry for her in the end, however meddlesome she may have been! However, overall I think Daughters has the edge over its predecessor; it feels more accomplished and less like something destined mainly for the chick-lit end of the market.

In a word, this book is JUICY. This is historical fiction, but never dry or boring; it's also romantic and full of action, but never comes off like poorly written genre rubbish. Quinn's books are huge fun to read and I am already looking forward to the next. (As an added bonus, at the time of writing I am about to set off for a holiday in Rome, and enjoying this story has really whetted my appetite for exploring the city and its history!) ...more

Another great and well researched read by Kate Quinn. I did find this one a little hard to get into at first, but what things got rolling it picks up! It is set again in Rome, about 20 or so years ahead of Mistress of Rome, and involving many of the character we meet there, and setting up different events and experiences. It's placed in a tumultuous period of Roman history where in a 12 month period 4 emperors came into power, with 3 loosing their life in the struggle.

It's placed in a tumultuous period of Roman history where in a 12 month period 4 emperors came into power, with 3 loosing their life in the struggle.

Again we're greeted with a spattering of well placed, carefully groomed characters that are both actual, factual historical figures and fictional creations, but the perfectly fleshed out imitations are hard to flush out. We follow 4 cousins from the clan Corneliaii (all named Cornealia, but with nicknames for clarity), out of them one pair are full sisters. While the sisters are the more prominent characters, we hear from everyone with regularity, that combined with their differences of personality and interests gives us a much broader view of The Year of Four Emperors.

The settings are equally as lush and well described as the characters are well rounded, you can tell the amazing research that was put into the writing of both Kate Quinn's novels.

The only issues I had at certain points, is the way the grils (who start out so close) act towards each other. There are different things that happen throughout the novel, love, war, death, marriage, divorce and wild life styles. But at somethings I just did not understand how they reacted. There were times that in my mind what two girls had done was practically the same in 'not greatness' and yet the latter of the girls they stopped talking to, wanted nothing to do with her.

I would recommend Kate's novels to anyone and everyone who loves historical fiction or Ancient Rome, they're great and sometimes the characters are so real, they can annoy you like real people!!

Definitly a good read. This is a prequel to Mistress of Rome (which did come out first) but you can read either book as a stand alone with out the other, though it does round out a more clearer vision of Roman life through a generation or two. ...more

Marcella was the biggest surprise in this novel. She started off relatively powerless, became a power behind the throne and then went back to powerless. I felt bad for her that she couldn't just be happy writing her history scrolls.

Cornelia was one of the stiffer characters. She was very prideful and strict with how she viewed the world but she also ended up marrying someone much lower than her so... :)

Lollia was both pitiful and envied. She was very rich. But because of her love for her grandfather she was married about 10 times before she was 20!!!!!!! While at first she didn't seem like a very good mother towards the end of the book I think she was actually a very loving mother to little Flavia and I really liked her. She didn't care about status and even kept Thrax as her lover long after most would have probably gotten rid of him.

Diana was an enigma throughout the book. She definitely loved horses more than men despite so many loving her. She was at least the most consistent character though and the most compassionate.

There were too many Emperors to mention and remember in this novel. But I felt bad for every one of them. Felled by the boredom of a manipulative woman! -.-

Edit: May 2020

So I have less sympathy for Marcella this time I think. I honestly didn't really look over my previous review. She is very manipulative and basically deserves her ending. Maybe not as long as it was but definitely a bit of it.

It's always interesting to re-read a book because you pick up on so much more. There are a ton of characters so I still got lost but like I picked up who Flavia was and who the sisters/cousins were to other characters from the first book.

I found the war and gore part both boring and slightly interesting. I liked the gore at times and Marcella made some of the political and historical stuff interesting.

Also I just realized that it must have been Cornelia's husband Piso who was infertile. I'm glad she ended up with many beautiful children.

Set in Rome A.D 69, approximately 20 years prior to Kate Quinn’s first novel, Mistress of Rome, it delves into the year that four emperors ruled. Each of the sisters are well developed and I could relate to each of them in different ways.

Lollia is a flighty young woman on the surface, but rather intelligent underneath despite being married three times by the age of 19. Her grandfather marries her off to make alliances with various men associated with the current emperor, but as each emperor falls a new alliance must form. At times I felt sorry for her as she views herself as being ‘leased’ for marriage and acknowledges that the men marry her for her substantial dowry. Lollia has a sense of protectiveness for her family and accepts each marriage rather graciously for the sake of her family. It doesn’t stop her from frolicking with the slaves and making the most of her situation. Lollia has a mixed heritage of both slave and royalty and I found it interesting that she seemed to straddle these two worlds, but find most comfort in the lower class and even fell in love with a slave. Lollia grows as a character and loses her arrogance as she matures with the chaos of the city.

Diana is a character that is always sitting on the outskirts, she is a young woman who captures the interest of many suitors because of her beauty, but ironically she is not interested in marriage, her only interest is horses and horse racing. A strong young woman with a brash mouth and seems to get away with her eccentrics as she sparks the interest of one of the emperors.

Cornelia is one of those lucky young women who happened to fall madly in love with the man her father arranged for her to marry. She is destined to become the empress of Rome, but when her husband is brutally murdered her life falls apart. I sympathised with Cornelia’s mourning and grief and felt saddened by her isolation during this time as her family and social network were keen to have her married again. Cornelia grows as a character and her priority becomes love and happiness rather than success and status. She falls in love with an outcasted soldier and I became quite invested in the success of this secret relationship and hoped that Cornelia would dismiss the demands of her class and follow her heart.

Marcella is the younger, reserved sister who is always writing and happily lives in a world of words and stories while her husband travels. She dreams of running her own household but her husband has other things in mind. Initially, Marcella is happy to write about history and observe history in the making but as her desire for power and control surge she becomes less passive in the role of history and more active in the upheaval in Rome. Marcella becomes the catalyst for the rise and fall of four emperors in a twelve month period and it turns out that the power she seeks isn’t exactly what she hoped it would be.

It’s not all happy endings for each of the women, but as the prequel, Daughters of Rome certainly sets the scene for Mistress of Rome. Another wonderfully written historical story with suspense, complex characters and an intriguing setting- ancient Rome.
