The Lady of Abu Simbel

This was an excellent book. The history was quite accurate as were the everyday activities. The characters were multi-dimensional unlike many historical fictions involving royalty. There was enough action and intrigue to interest all readers. The writing style was fantastic.

Perhaps the most depressing and downbeat book in the series so far. A book about loss - Ramses loses people close to him, and this volume also briefly covers the flight of the Hebrews from Egypt, downplaying the biblical story and yet portraying a matter-of-fact believable set of events which one could imagine being the basis of mythology grown up around it.

4th book of the series of Ramses. I don't know why I kept reading them, for they are not very good! Once you pop...

Terrible. Editor needed shooting.

A vivid re-creation of the majesty and mystery of ancient times, Ramses has swept across France, then the rest of Europe, then Asia. Every book in this spectacular series has been an international blockbuster bestseller--and American readers are quickly falling under it

"Trots sin lysande seger över hettiterna vid Kadesh lyckas Ramses inte helt kuva det stridbara folket. Han tvingas oavbrutet till vaksamhet mot såväl yttre som inre fiender. Hans förtrogna - Skrivaren Ameni, diplomaten Acha och ormtjusaren och trollkarlen Setau med sin vackra hustru Lotus - ger honom emellertid den hjälp och det skydd han behöver för att full följa sin kallelse som Egyptens store Farao och landsfader.
Speciellt kännbar blir striden med den forne vännen Moses, vars kallelse att föra hebréerna ut ur Egypten, orsakar landet svåra plågor.

Men allt genomsyras av kärleken till den stora gemålen, Ramses älskade Nefertari. Genom alla svårigheter och utmaningar blir de två ännu mer medvetna om den oerhörda show more kärlek som förenar dem, den hemliga kärlek som ingen kan beskriva, som är glödhet som sommarens himmel och mild som en solnedgång över Nilen." show less
