The Muses is a monthly book club for anyone who loves fantasy, romantasy, and mythology by women writers. Our pick for March is Babylonia by Costanza Casati.

From the author of the bestselling Clytemnestra comes another intoxicating excursion into ancient history, painting the brutal and captivating empire of gods and men, and the one queen destined to rule them all.

Costanza Casati was born in Texas and grew up in a village in Northern Italy, where she studied Ancient Greek. Babylonia, her second novel, was an instant Sunday Times bestseller.

The Muses is a collaboration between Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System and Friendly City Books and meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7 pm at Friendly City Books. See you there!
