Story
Inspired by true events, Far Away Bird delves into the complex mind of Byzantine Empress Theodora. This intimate account deftly follows her rise from actress-prostitute in Constantinople’s red-light district to the throne of the Byzantine Empire. More than a millennium before the women’s rights movement, Theodora, alone, took on the world’s greatest superpower and succeeded. Far Away Bird goes where history classrooms fear to tread, in hopes that Theodora can finally take her seat among the greatest women in history.

Amazing read! Felt like I was in Byzantine Empire!

The story of Theodora is simply fascinating. I rarely read fiction books, and was recommended to look at this one. I was in love with Theodora's life story, the trials and tribulations she endured, the adversity she overcomes, and her growth from a naive and risk-seeking child to a strong woman of purpose and conviction. I would highly recommend to read this book if you love history, female empowerment, and heroic tales.
