Anne Rice, creator of the Vampire Lestat, the Mayfair witches and the amazing worlds they inhabit, now gives us the first in a new series of novels linked together by the fledgling vampire David Talbot, who has set out to become a chronicler of his fellow Undead.
The novel opens in present-day Paris in a crowded café, where David meets Pandora. She is two thousand years old, a Child of the Millennia, the first vampire ever made by the great Marius. David persuades her to tell the story of her life.
Pandora begins, reluctantly at first and then with increasing passion, to recount her mesmerizing tale, which takes us through the ages, from Imperial Rome to eighteenth-century France to twentieth-century Paris and New Orleans. She carries us back to her mortal girlhood in the world of Caesar Augustus, a world chronicled by Ovid and Petronius. This is where Pandora meets and falls in love with the handsome, charismatic, lighthearted, still-mortal Marius. This is the Rome she is forced to flee in fear of assassination by conspirators plotting to take over the city. And we follow her to the exotic port of Antioch, where she is destined to be reunited with Marius, now immortal and haunted by his vampire nature, who will bestow on her the Dark Gift as they set out on the fraught and fantastic adventure of their two turbulent centuries together.

重听。这本还是蛮有意思的，这些不信基督教的老鬼就是比较好玩。好想去安条克啊。有声书我下载的版本是个英音女性读的，也很加分。
评分写了古罗马时期在宗教政治斗争中被灭族而逃亡的贵族女子Lydia后改名Pandora的故事。看了几章节，有的地方勾起我看古罗马民俗的兴趣了，比如女主小时候家里开宴会，贵族们边吃边催吐，吃完了就开yin乱趴体rape男女奴隶。比如女主她爸认为为公民展现角斗场这类残暴血腥景象是贵族们的义务，教会罗马人无畏死亡，更冷漠。如果想看一个吸血鬼的故事可能会觉得慢和无聊，但是不抱预设看还是有意思的。
评分Non-typical Anne Rice work, but really worth reading.
