![]() ![]() He misses his family and must find a way to repeat his actions in the very place where he had gone through time if he is to ever get back. He has to get used to people lying down on couches to eat, and then using their hands instead of knives and forks, toilets that don’t separate men and women, and actually pressing wine grapes with his bare feet. Somehow Perry manages to slip across nearly two thousand years of time, to find himself a slave in a wealthy household. His mother loves exploring historical sites and attending festivals where people dress as Romans. Perry, the boy at the heart of this story, is on holiday with his parents in France. This new historical novel from the experienced children’s writer, Anna Ciddor, is a lot of fun to read, and at the same time hugely informative about the details of what it might have been like to live in the fourth century CE Roman Empire. ![]()
