Excellent read. A bit of Jewish philosophy. A bit of Jewish History. Modern quasi suspense. A family story. A lot going on but well written. I couldn‘t stop reading.
Thanks for the tag @MaleficentBookDragon
1. Hard choice. They are both beautiful but I guess a sunrise holds more promise.
2. Philosophical, parallel and engrossing.

so-soI absolutely adore Bettany Hughes. Her TV shows and in-person talks are fascinating and engaging.
But I have to say, I found this a bit of a slog to get through at times :-(. Lots of good info but not as engaging as the author herself.
so-soSpinster Amelia has decided to take advantage of her inheritance & travel across Egypt w/ a young woman she rescues. What follows is an adventure of archaeological discoveries, possible romances, & The Mummy‘s Curse, of course.
A very, VERY slow first half, but once the story got started it kept going! Amelia & Evelyn are delightful together & the scene setting was fun. Lots of condescending English racism, but not as bad as I expected.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
