Caroline Lawrence, bestselling Children's Historical Fiction author of the Roman Mysteries ""You Are Odysseus is a labour of love and an adventure of a read. I find myself coming back to it in odd moments, excited to discover what new twist the story might bring me this time and how I'll manage to get out of it!
