Her palace shimmered with gold but was richer still in political and sexual intrigue. Cleopatra, the wealthiest ruler of her time and one of the most powerful women in history, was a canny political strategist, a brilliant manager, a tough negotiator, and the most manipulative of lovers. Although her life spanned fewer than forty years, it reshaped the contours of the ancient world.
At only 18 years old, Cleopatra was already one of history's most remarkable figures: the Queen of Egypt.

Cleopatra really is one of the most complex and fascinating women in history. I have read several reviews of this book and it sounds like one I would enjoy. That it is in audio form is even better because I can listen to it during a commute or on a trip.
