In the year 146 BC the Roman army took Carthage by storm. The people of the city were massacred or enslaved and every building was razed to the ground. This was Rome's final solution to the problem of Carthage: the transformation of one of the most opulent cities of the ancient world into a barren ruin. Set against this background, CARTHAGE tells the intertwined story of 7 people inescapably caught up in cruelty and destruction. A chilling novel, resonating with man's inhumanity to man, this is a thoughtful exploration of the impact of genocide on the lives of individuals.
