Story4.5 out of 5 stars 83
The year is 63 BC, and Gordianus the Finder unexpectedly achieves the dream of every Roman: owning a farm in the Etruscan countryside. Vowing to leave behind the corruption of Rome, he abandons the city, taking his family with him. This bucolic life, however, is disrupted by the machinations and murderous plots of two politicians.

I have read a number of these books and listened to the audiotape as well. this performance inspired wishes to throttle the one reciting. Simply obnoxious . Likewise the text, as far as I could stand it, i.e. the hay blight, was boring enough to make me wish to stop my walk and fall asleep. I am very disappointed.
