Helena by Evelyn WaughMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5/5.0 - A novel of the life of St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, and the discoverer of many religious relics, including the true cross. Written in 1950, it is now a classic of the Catholic faith. Learning about life in the fourth century Roman Empire, although not in any detail. I was surprised to find that divorce was not stigmatized, and also that relatives could be killed for any reason by those in power.
