Book Reviews of Nefertiti: A Novel
Book Review: A Stunning Debut
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading this novel was pure magic. I was fortunate enough to get a galley copy - which for anyone who doesn't know is an early copy - and I can guarantee that anyone who reads this will not be able to put it down. I read the novel while on a trip across country, and the hours just flew by. The novel takes place in the Egyptian court of the Pharaoh Akhenaten. Akhenaten is a young and unpredictable. He resents his father and is even implicated in his brother's untimely death. The Egyptian court is wary of him, but when he marries the beautiful and charming Nefertiti, popular opinion begins to sway. Until, that is, he banishes Egypt's gods for one of his own making and moves the capital of Egypt into the desert. There, he begins to build the greatest city in Egypt, taking the gold from the temples and making enemies of the priests in order to build something that will write his name in history forever.
The novel is told from the perspective of Nefertiti's younger sister, Mutnodjmet (called Mutny in the book for short), and the relationship between the two sisters is just as another reviewer put it - both fun and outrageous. Only Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl even came close to capturing two sisters like these, and Michelle Moran brings Egypt alive through their relationship. An absolute must read.
