Memoirs of Hadrian

Marguerite Yourcenar

M.E. Proctor

@SFWriter3 He died relatively young (Hadrian, not Harris!) by today's standards. For the time, he did well... and man, what a writer! If you have a chance read Marguerite Yourcenar Memoirs of Hadrian, that's a masterpiece.

Since We Fell

Dennis Lehane

M.E. Proctor

@jodyjsperling Stephen King does great female characters. On another note, Dennis Lehane in "Since we Fell" wrote, IMO, the best sex scene from a woman's perspective, his character - Rachel Childs.
