Ungrateful Homeland

In the heart of the Roman Republic, one
woman’s courage shook the Senate and
shaped history

Set in the final years of the Roman Republic, Ungrateful
Homeland tells the untold story of Cornelia, the noblewoman
who raised the legendary Gracchus brothers and became one
of the most influential figures of her time. Narrated through
the voice of Antigone, Cornelia’s loyal servant, now freed, the
novel reconstructs her life through a series of letters addressed
to a Greek pedagogue. As Antigone recounts Cornelia’s private
strength and public defiance, we witness a woman who shaped
her sons' political ideals and paid the price for challenging the
corruption of the Roman Senate.

Tragedy, loyalty, and a fierce battle for republican values
converge in this emotionally rich and historically grounded
narrative that gives voice to a woman history tried to forget.
