Her writing skills are so keen and polished you cannot help but devour the insanely obsessive page-turner that is Nefertiti.įirst, a mini crash-course that I certainly would have appreciated on ancient Egyptian Gods and beliefs most mentioned in the novel:Īten: A sun disk worshipped as the new God during the reign of AkhenatenĪmun: The most important Egyptian God and the creator of all thingsĪnubis: Guardian of the dead, believed to have weighed the deceased’s heart on the scales of justice to see if they can pass to the Blessed Lands She equally if not better matches it with her exceptional ability to arouse our curiosity, pique our interest, foster our sympathy and feed our thirst and ache to know the outcome. When I picked Cleopatra’s Daughter from my Amazon vine program, I was mesmerized by Moran’s prose and deep knowledge of the period about which she writes. “Nefertiti” is compulsively readable and a treasure of historical fiction to behold. The most magnificent films of our time would be hard pressed in creating the visual images Michelle Moran stirs up with her powerful words, from a history that existed over three thousand years ago, a kingdom that ruled in the heart of Egypt in an unstable period, and a queen that was so beautiful and graceful that eternity indeed remembers her, as she had desperately hoped it would.
