Persona Non Grata: A Novel of the Roman Empire Audiobook

" The story of Russo (medicus) and his wife, former slave, Tilla continues. Russo gets called home to Gaul, where no one wants to see him. Love the plot twists and the hilarious goings on of crazy neighbors, over devout Christians and immediate family in terror of being poor! "

" I really like this series. Ruth Downie gives great overview of the Roman Empire. This book takes place in France. The characterizations are great and the story keeps you guessing right up to the end. Looking forward to the newest one in the series. "

" The third outing for Gaius Petreius, Medicus with the Roman Legion, didn't grab me as well as the first two. I still enjoyed it, perhaps it was just my state of mind as I read it, as I've been quite busy with work and other things. I can't point at anything in particular that I disliked about the book, so I'm going with the "distracted" reason. Perhaps I'm looking for more growth and change in the characters than I perceived. It felt a little like the author was "moving the characters around on the stage." None the less, I will probably continue with the series, later, after I've whittled away some of the other books on my to-be-read stack. "

" Fun read and a good mystery. But some of the roman names can get confusing. "

" The morose Ruso, first century Roman army medicus, returns home to Gaul with this Brittish slave/mistress Tilla. Many problems ensue with his family, former wife and corrupt local officials. The book dragged a bit for me, but had the usual wry Brittish humor. "

" What fun reading! Am loving this series and think that this one was my favorite so far...... still have one last one to go, so we'll see... "

" Another fun visit to the Roman Empire, this time in Gaul, as the Medicus responds to an urgent letter from his family to come home. "

" Poor Ruso too many woman, never enough money and now the new christian god to deal with. Downie has done it again! "

" I liked this one, too. We got to meet Ruso's family - in all their glory. I love stories that go from book to book because I'm often not ready to say goodbye to the people I've me in my books. I'm really enjoying this series. "

" Poor Ruso too many woman, never enough money and now the new christian god to deal with. Downie has done it again! "

" Fun read and a good mystery. But some of the roman names can get confusing. "

" The trip to the medical doctor's home had to be done, but I hope he returns to Britannia for any future novels. Interesting, but not my favorite. "
