My Name Is Sappho by Martha Rofheart

'A NOVEL OF THE LEGENDARY QUEEN OF LESBOS - HER POETRY, HER POWER, HER PASSIONATE LOVERS.'

'A novel of many kinds of love, of high adventure, and of striking insight into the relations of men and women of every era - including, most certainly, our own.' -Mario Puzo. In the great tradition of Mary Renault, a wonderfully gifted storyteller has created a world - and a character - that will never be forgotten. Sappho - artist, queen, lover, teacher, full-blooded woman - is a figure of legend made flesh. Her triumphs and torments are brought to vivid, stirring life by the celebrated author of 'Fortune Made His Sword' in this thrilling novel of love and death.' -Back cover
