What this book is about
Michelle Moran's historical novel follows Mutnodjmet, sister of the famous Egyptian queen Nefertiti, as she witnesses the religious upheaval Nefertiti and Akhenaten brought to Egypt. The novel provides an outsider's view of power — Mutnodjmet wants only to garden and live quietly while her sister pursues glory. Moran's research is strong and the setting is vividly rendered. Adult content is mild for the historical fiction genre.
