FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER 'Wildly entertaining, deeply affecting' Ali SmithLondinium, AD 211. She's a back-alley firecracker, a scruffy Nubian babe with tangled hair and bare feet - and she's just been married off a fat old Roman. Zuleika is a modern girl living in an ancient world.
She knows this city like the back of her hand: its slave girls and drag queens, its shining villas and rotting slums. Life as a teenage bride is no joke but Zeeks is a born survivor. She knows how to get by.
Until one day she catches the eye of the most powerful man on earth, the Roman Emperor, and her trouble really starts...Silver-tongued and merry-eyed, this is a story in song and verse, a joyful mash-up of today and yesterday. Kaleidoscoping distant past and vivid present, The Emperor's Babe asks what it means to be a woman and to survive in this thrilling, brutal, breathless world.
