Returning, whether it means going back or giving back, is never easy, at least not in this volume of three Miriam bat Isaac novelettes.

In the first story, “The Bodyguard”, Miriam’s brother, an erstwhile gladiator, returns home to serve as a bodyguard to the son of a legionnaire.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the second story, “The Beggar”, an old man disguising himself as a matronly beggar, returns to Alexandria to find the lovechild he left behind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And in the third story, “The Black Pearl,” Miriam sails to Ephesus to return a black pearl donated to the city by Emperor Augustus himself.
