Fire from Heaven, Mary Renault

Wonderful, awesome, lyrical, beautiful story of Alexander the Great as a child. I was in raptures over his relationship with Hephastion (which I am normally anyway, but this was GREAT). I just wish it were less densely written about Greek politics; I've studied and read a lot and followed it just fine, but I can't give it to any of my Local Teens.

Grade: B
