This is a book that has been on my shelves for probably about 15 years if I had to guess. One of those library sale pickups for a quarter or 50 cents that looked interesting so bought it. I finally got around to reading it and conflicting opinions on it. Lots of history that author supposedly tried to stay true to but also a ton of debauchery and basically awful behavior by almost everyone in the book. It is about Constantinople in late 800s or maybe early 900s. Emperors, church, warring parties and a lot of what has were like vs have nots. Interesting reading but still a lot that seemed put into the novel for shock's sake too.
There were no copies in PBS & I have already posted it in system. Will see if it goes anywhere.
