pick"It's what she has chosen. One daughter reached for the sun, and the other is content to feel its rays on her garden. They are different, that is all."
This is a solid book about Nefertitis life and those around here told from the pov of her half-sister Mutnodjmet. I loved how interesting all the characters were, and I was super intrigued with the history of Egypt.
pickBeautiful cover and interesting premise -- Neferura is the daughter of the best-known female Pharaoh, Hatshepsut. Discussion topics are provided for book clubs, and author q and a.
I adored the setting, historical references, and variations of female power, but would have preferred less palace intrigue and more Ancient Egypt. I geeked out more about the history provided at the end than much of the story. And I found Neferura naive throughout.
pickSo well written and researched. I am studying Egyptology and to see the events presented in a way that really brings them to life for anyone regardless of whether they have any prior knowledge of the facts is fantastic. My first James Patterson read but definitely won't be my last.
Reading takes you in all sorts of directions! Today it takes me through this door - the Museum of Archaeology, to learn more about Kathleen Kenyon working in Jerusalem in the 1950s.
pickThe author did an excellent job of taking what little is known about Nefertiti and turning it into an intriguing story. She follows Nefertiti's life through the eyes of her sister. I'll definitely read more of this author's books. #ReadingAfrica2022 #Egypt #AlmostAChunksterChallenge (464 pages).

pickI could not put this book down. I already ordered the next book in the series. If you liked The Other Boleyn Girl you will like this book. #foodandlit #readingafrica #19822022 #almostachunkster @Butterfinger @Eggs @Catsandbooks @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle
