Anna of Byzantium is an interesting historical novel intended for young adult readers. It's told in the first person, from the point of view of Anna Comnena, a Byzantine princess who tried to maintain her place in line for the throne at a time when influences in the empire were trying to put her younger brother on the throne. The story is told from a convent, where Anna lived out her long life after being exiled from court. The book also deals with issues surrounding the First Crusade. Barrett includes a map, a family tree, and an Author's Note.
