I recently read Augustus, by John Williams. I usually never read historical fiction, but I really enjoyed his novel Stoner so I gave it a shot. It is epistolary in form, meaning that the story is told through imaginary letters written between the characters. It was very well done. In fact, it won the National Book Award. I have read a lot of straight history about Augustus, so this reinforced my knowledge. It was also entertaining.
