AS an exotic blend of power and beauty whose life came to a tragic end, Cleopatra VII has been memorialized ad nauseam in numerous art forms, from paintings and opera to film and a seemingly endless string of books. Now her only daughter, Cleopatra Selene, is getting the historical fiction treatment in "Cleopatra's Moon," a novel for young adults which is occasionally violent but rife with romance. The magic of this novel is that such an ancient, privileged life is told by the child as she's living it. "Cleopatra's Moon" puts a decidedly personal spin on history, spanning Cleopatra Selene's childhood up to age 16 and filling in the blanks of a life that bears witness to the death of her parents, the fall of Egypt and her relocation to Rome where she is housed with the very enemy that forced her from her homeland.
