Nefertiti

Most Recently Read Book:

Nefertiti

By Michelle Moran

This is a must read! I was so excited to read this book and for being almost 500 pages long I finished it quickly. It reminds me of The Other Boleyn Girl and Beneath a Marble Sky, and I loved those as well. I love historical fiction, I love that I get a rich, expertly spun story but that it has some historical reasoning to it so I feel like I'm really learning about the past (even though they aren't completely based on historical fact, obviously). This book is about Nefertiti, a famous Egyptian...she married a pharoah and eventually co-ruled with him when she named herself the first female pharoah. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you read this book!

I HAVE to read this! The Other Boleyn Girl has been on my to-read list for a while now, but I love historical fiction too - have you ever ready any Umberto Eco? Thanks for sharing!!
