Counting the Stars by Helen Dunmore
In the heat of Rome's long summer, the poet Catullus and his older married lover, Clodia Metelli, meet in secret. Living at the heart of sophisticated and brittle Roman society Catullus is obsessed with Clodia, the Lesbia of his most passionate poems. He is jealous of even of her pet sparrow. And Clodia? Catullus is possibly not her only interest.
