Druids
Traditionally, history is written by the victors; the stories of the conquered are forgotten. In this historical novel Morgan Llywellyn tells the story of Julius Caeser's conquest of Gaul from the point of view of the native Celts. She portrays their daily lives, their beliefs and values, and their struggle to defend themselves against the invaders who neither understand nor value their culture. The "good guys" don't win in the end and the novel leaves us with a taste of what has been lost.
