I enjoyed reading this book so much. My month to pick a book for our book club isn't until November and I couldn't wait that long to read it. Now I've got to give the rest of the club the book to read so I have someone to discuss it with. Such an intriguing time in history. Nefertari was such a strong young woman. She knew what she wanted and wouldn't stop until she got it-Ramesses. Thank God all the evil characters got what they deserved. Coincidentally, the day after I finished reading it there was a show on TV about Nefertiti and the search for her tomb. I grabbed my book to use the map to see exactly where they were talking about and guess what-they visited many of the places in the book. This made it even more exciting and realistic. Now I've got to get a copy of Nefertiti to read. Thanks BookMovement for providing me with a great read I might not have picked myself.

I won this book for our book club a while ago but my month to pick a book isn't until next January. Instead of holding on to it til then I gave it out at the June book club just as an extra read since we don't meet in July. I really didn't expect to like it. One of the members finished it and immediately sent an email saying it was life changing. Of course now we all had to hurry up and read it so we could have a mini book club to discuss it. What a great book with such unexpected characters and delightful twists and turns. Nicole takes a difficult subject and gives it a life of its own. Read this book! You won't be disappointed. The characters are all so very well developed and each plays an important part in the story.
