After reading Cleopatra's Daughter last year I fully intended on reading more of Michelle Moran's books, but I never did. This past week my husband was ordering some things on Amazon. He came up to me and said, do you want to pick out a book so we can get the free shipping? Um, yeah! So I finally got another Michelle Moran tale. I loved it. I absolutely love authors who can take a time in history and make it alive. When you read this book you get a sense of what life in Egypt would have been like.
This story is based on real life Queen Nefertari. Nefertari is one of the more well known queens of Ancient Egypt. Michelle Moran acknowledges that this book is a work of fiction, based on what could have been her life. She take an author's licence in tying together people and events. Some of the characters are based on real people, others are complete fiction.
I found the story to be very interesting and want to read Moran's first novel, Nerfertiti.

I've read all her stuff out so far and she is AWESOME!! You should look into a book called The Mistress of Rome... it's similar in style and VERY good as well.
I just read that one last month and really enjoyed it as well
