    In Stacy Schiff’s award winning biography, Cleopatra: A Life, she penetrates the life of Queen Cleopatra and breaks down her origin, major events, and all the other accomplishments of the young queen. This would be a very pleasing book for readers who really want to know more about Queen Cleopatra or are just learning of her. The author provided a great deal of detail to the life of Cleopatra when it came to the queen’s origin and uprising to power. Schiff went into great depth with the structure of her novel in how she exclaimed how Cleopatra rose to the throne at age eighteen and the many ways she sustained her power in the kingdom as well as making allies. The author’s tone and interpretation of Cleopatra really make this book that much better in my opinion. But I could not really decipher the author’s thesis but to the best of my ability I see it as the author is trying to get her readers to envision Cleopatra in a whole new light as the powerful queen that Schiff sees.…
