Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 101
Helena is the intelligent, horse-mad daughter of a British chieftan who is suddenly betrothed to the warrior who becomes the Roman emperor Constantius. She spends her life seeking truth in the religions, mythologies, and philosophies of the declining ancient world. This she eventually finds in Christianity-and literally in the Cross of Christ.The Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, made the historic pilgrimage to Palestine and built churches at Bethlehem and Olivet.

Beautiful
Revisado: 03-27-25
It is such a joy these days to hear such beautiful language, which is even more mellifluous read aloud. Don’t worry that it’s too preachy, Waugh is never preachy. Just a great story and great character building. A delicious aperitif for Brideshead Revisited fans.
