5.0 out of 5 stars
A Wonderful Novel about Hypatia of Alexandria
One of the most heartfelt and informative historical novels I've read, and about a little-known time-period to boot! Clever characterizations with great chemistry, and a sense of loss and tragedy that the author conveys with lyrical skill. Truly a great novel.

This review is from: LADY PHILOSOPHER: The Story of Hypatia (Paperback)
This is the same book that he published 5 years ago with the title Remembering Hypatia: A Novel of Ancient Egypt.
I was not pleased and feel that I was misled by the change in title, publisher and publication date. I believed it was a further exploration into the philosophy of Hypatia. While the book is good, under either title, it is definitely not worth $25 to reread the same text with a few editing changes. Can someone enlighten me? Why was this done and is it done by other authors and novels? Luckily Amazon was quite willing to have the book returned with a full refund!
