Noëlle Harrison
Part fact, part fiction The Secret Loves of Julia Caesar tells the story of a Roman Princess’ quest for the secret of love – through three marriages, her many lovers, her relationship with Phoebe, her slave; through prostitution and her ultimate exile to an island.
This is an exploration of sexuality and desire, combining the myths and history of Ancient Rome with sensual and explicit imagery. Yet at the centre of the book is the search for “love with no conditions” and the profound beauty of what it is to be a human being.
For readers of The Adulteress this book will open another window – and yet even more revealing – into June Fanning’s heart.
Appreciation for The Adulteress
The story of Julia Caesar banished to an island for her politically-charged infidelity has resonance in Harrison’s depiction of adultery as a crime with victims on all sides.
