nefertiti by michelle moran

I really liked this piece of historical fiction. I've always been intrigued by Egyptian culture & what better way to learn than a novel beefed up with fact? This author did a lot of research and all the major political/social things that takes place in the book really did take place. She obviously took liberties with personality/relationships - but even those liberties were based on educated guesses. I would recommend this book to anyone. It was very interesting & just a good quick read. There's even a sequel that I'll be reading - I just have to find it since our local library doesn't have it.

I also thought it was interesting to relate the events in this book to the Gospel. Okay, so maybe I just do that with everything - movies, life, books apparently. It just happens. But really - this books main message to me, "pride comes before the fall" & "it is better to choose to be humble, then to be compelled to be humble". Amen.

Now reading - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
