In 79 AD, at the foot of Vesuvius, the city of Pompeii is threatened by a series of unusual events. Wells and fountains begin to dry up, a man mysteriously disappears, and the Aqua Augusta aqueduct stops flowing. Amidst this chaos, Robert Harris immerses us in the days leading up to the eruption of Vesuvius, exploring a world of luxury and glamor on the brink of destruction. Through the eyes of four characters, the novel follows a fast-paced rhythm, keeping the reader in suspense until the last page.
