Odyssey of an Etruscan Noblewoman "Two thumbs up! I loved this book. As a healer who uses herbs, I was fascinated by the main character and the intrigue surrounding her inability to practice medicine as a woman in her time. I hope the author will write another book using these or similar characters." —Katie Lawler |
"ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! —Ms. K., Los Angeles, CA |

"Traveling in Italy gave me hints of the ancient world of the Etruscans.
But, I was totally unprepared for the depth of the culture that Rosalind
Burgundy unveiled in Odyssey of an Etruscan Noblewoman.
The challenges the characters faced were vividly drawn. The story was
so exciting that I read it quickly, and then reread parts over and over.
Well done! On to Ms. Burgundy's next book." — T. Promessi, CA |
“...is a universal tale of a woman's strengths, weaknesses,
and will to survive—that is as timely today as it was centuries ago
during an era historically dominated by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.” — Charles K. South, Palm Beach, FL |
“Rosalind Burgundy has created a fascinating character in
Larthia the noblewoman, almost a female Indiana Jones for all the trouble
she gets into, but all woman in the way she deals with them. From one chapter
to the next, the reader never knows what to expect.” — RC, Twain Harte, CA |
“The author's passion for Etruscan history has led her on
a mysterious and very personal journey back in time. Odyssey of
an Etruscan Noblewoman reveals Ms Burgundy's true inner self as she leads the reader
onto her fantastic adventure and into the heart and soul of her character.
A niche book that will go mainsteam!” — M. Kadin, Cape Cod, MA |
“Got Odyssey of an Etruscan Noblewoman on Friday. Finished
it Saturday. It's delightful!” — M. Jorgensen, Dacula, GA |
“A great job of developing characters and language, and weaving
the flavor of historical fact—very well done!” — Ed Scalone, Woodbridge, CT |
“…in the tradition of Homer and Candide—enjoyable.” — Audrey K., Southhampton, NY |
“A real page-turner! I couldn't wait to see how Larthia would
deal with each new dilemma she faced, and in each case, it was cleverly
and unexpectedly. An exciting read. Along the way, the author includes
tidbits of Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultures so that you learn
about them almost without realizing it. I wholeheartedly recommend this
book!” — E.R., Palm Beach, FL |
“The reader knows that this writer knows what she's talking
about. In the midst of reading; on page 152. Very, very good. Keep getting
the thought that it's too bad this isn't in Italian. I think they would
love reading their history. Two days later—just finished Call
Forth the Flood. Keep wanting to find what happens next. Three days later—finished.
It's great!” — Tom M. Smith, Twain Harte, CA |
“Just finished ready Odyssey of an Etruscan Noblewoman.
Rosalind Burgundy must have put a tremendous amount of time researching
the Etruscans!
Her detailed descriptions are magnificent! Her writing style is different
from anything I've ever read! Like she lived every moment herself. Well,
I guess she did! And it ended sweetly leaving one with a fine sense of
beauty.” — Angela Renzi, Boynton Beach, Florida |
“What a marvelous book! Burgundy accomplished the feat of
putting the reader in the Mediterranean world of that era. She made each
character colorful in his/her own right. She gave the reader adventure,
love, real historical fact and a look into diverse cultures. It is a wonderful
piece of work. I'm going to her web site to see if her other books are
available for sale.” — M. Stumpf, Phoenix, AZ |
“I loved it!” — Misozi Huddleston, Rome, Italy |
