The Woman Behind the Myth: Saara El-Arifi on Cleopatra

I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Saara El-Arifi. On this episode we’re going to talk about her new book, Cleopatra. Cleopatra reclaims her story in this sensuous historical epic—revealing a powerful, strategic ruler silenced by myth, misogyny, and history’s willful distortions.Paired with this episode:Saara: Jubel, peach beerEliza: Tinto di VeranoSaara's Book:CleopatraWhat Saara is Reading:This Immortal Heart by Jennifer SaintFind Saara Online!Find links to Eliza's social media on her website and sign up for her newsletter!Eliza Knight Follow History, Books and Wine on Social Media!Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryBooksandWineInstagram: @HistoryBksWineSend us Fan MailSupport the show
