The Desiderata Stone Nick Aaron
Daisy Hayes was a blind sculptress, invited to the Vatican Museums in 1964 to study archaeological artifacts by touch. In AD 64 a blind masseuse working at the baths in Rome overheard some important men plotting to set fire to the city and seize power. She decided to leave a message revealing the plot and did everything she could to save her hide. So, 1900 years later, Daisy uncovered a mysterious message from antiquity: the Desiderata stone.
I love the 1964 blind heroine crossing paths with a blind woman from ancient Rome, who has left a message 1900 years earlier. Two strong, brave women trying to do the right thing and stay alive, plus ancient Rome and political intrigues there, plus a mysterious message to decipher -- how could this fail as a recipe for fun, enthralling reading. Thank you, Nick Aaron, for writing The Desiderata Stone.
Nick Aaron's "D is for Daisy" starts with a compelling write-up--a blind woman is the only one on the trail of a murderer. A fascinating way to touch off a WWII thriller--a promising premise for a page-turner!
This sounds very intriguing!

A story that's filled with suspense, engaging with questionable doubt, and a motive behind the scenes. What happened to Lois's husband, and even her friend Beth?
Curiosity got the Cat!
This is a book right up my alley! Love the description of the main character! This read is perfect for a chilly autumn night.
This is a short and sweet historical romance. It's a realistic story with a good sense of time and place. And yes, it leaves you wanting to know more about the characters!
A story featuring a mature woman sounds intriguing!

A veneer of respectability (so important to the Victorians) disguising power, ambition, illicit love, lust and cruelty, set in the world of industrial and imperial Britain. A meaty concoction to get your incisors into :)

The Unhero: When Harappa Fell Pratyush Pandey
The Unhero brings together philosophy and history, weaving together the threads of existentialism and the saga of the civilisations of the Indus Valley and Mesopotamia.
Most ancient civilisations bring to to our mind images of lofty palaces, grand temples and esoteric practices. Yet, the Indus Valley civilisation, separated by more than 5,000 years from our time, was devoid of all such vanities to men's egos and shrines to Gods.
It is given to few generations to have to live through the tumultuous fall of a civilisation, particularly one as great as that of the Indus Valley.
What should ordinary men and women do in such extraordinary times? What is one's duty? What of glory? What can an ordinary person even do against the flow of history?
