It's about Pericles, the ancient Greece statesman, and Aspasia, the courtesan who became his love. So, yes, there is a love story involved, but I wouldn't call the book a romance novel.

Taylor Caldwell wrote a lot of well known books from the 40's through the 70's. Her most famous are probably The Earth is the Lord's, Captains and the Kings, Dialogues with the Devil, and Great Lion of God. My mother read a lot of her books, which is how I came to discover this one.
