This is an amazing book! If you have read this and liked it, then you need to read The Mark of the Lion series by Fracine Rivers. It shows the lives of two Roman aristocrats, a slave girl and a gladiator. It can be pretty graphic, so ask your parents first. I loved Pear Maiden, though, and I actually borrowed it from Grace. Read Pearl Maiden!!!
