Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore by Stella Duffy

How did you come across the book?

Truthfully? I work in the same building as Penguin Publishing, and there’s always free books in the mailroom. Yeah! That’s how I came across it.

So far, what perspective have you gained from this book?

Well… its mainly about a woman who is just trying to find herself… and she’s going through these major changes, so I feel like, in regard to perspective… I mean the character, she’s very daring and true to herself, so I feel if anything, that’s the perspective… to just stay bold!

Would you recommend it, and if so, to who and why?

Yes, I would recommend it. Probably to one of my best friends who is an English teacher, just because I feel like she would appreciate literature taking place in the 6th century. So… that’s who I would recommend it too.

How did you come across the book?

Because I needed to read it for work, so it’s a good tool to learn how to work with kids.

So far, what perspective have you gained from this book?

It shows that there are many ways to be kind, and to be strict with kids, and you have to know how to use both.

Would you recommend it, and if so, to who and why?

Ok… would I recommend it? Yes, because for parents that do not know how to teach kids… this book is perfect.
