You've seen my smile. Remember my teeth.
Mother of Rome is a stunning representation of the strength of women through motherhood - how that power is nurtured through sisterhood, struggle, and man's audacity to doubt. This isn't an easy read; it hurts - pinches at your heart with its truth - because it represents what so many women experience daily and for that I adored it.
To be a mother is to be alive.
Was this what motherhood meant? To love every single aspect of a person? To ache in the most gorgeous way for their touch, their smile, the assurance of their heartbeat?
While the story was a little slow at points, I couldn't pull myself away - the way in which Bear weaves together different perspectives to show the impact Rhea Silvia had on the world was captivating. It's a crime how few reviews there are for this book at the time of my review (less than 1,000) - Mother of Rome deserves an incredible amount of praise and recognition.
Men cannot be wolves. (But I ask, then, what of women?)
