A Pillar of Iron
A Pillar of Iron
Author: Taylor Caldwell
A big sprawling blockbuster of a book with a story that leaps and bounds through thrilling years. Unfolded here in rich detail are the private dramas behind Cicero, the great Roman hero's triumphs and defeats--and the intimate, deeply moving story of his deperate love affair with the beautiful Livia.

Taylor Caldwell brings craftsmanship and writing skill to "A Pillar of Iron," but beyond that, her novel is talky and historically inaccurate. Focusing on a heroic Cicero who never really existed, "A Pillar of Iron" seems mostly a showcase for its author's mid-twentieth century political concerns. I'd love to see Cicero's reputation revived but don't think Caldwell has really succeeded in doing that here.
