Pressestimmen
“Gedge sets her living, breathing Queen against a beautifully detailed Egypt that we see as it must have been so long ago.” —Publishers Weekly

Kurzbeschreibung
Thirty-five centuries ago the sun had a daughter: Hatshepsut. Youngest daughter of the Pharaoh, she was a lithe and magical child. But when her older sister died, it became her duty to purify the dynasty’s bloodline. She was to wed Thothmes, her father’s illegitimate son, who was heir to the throne. But fearing his son’s incompetence, Hatshepsut’s father came to her with startling news. She was to be Pharaoh, ruler of the greatest empire the world had ever known--provided, of course, that the unprecedented ascension by a woman did not inspire the priests to treason or instill in her half-brother and future consort sufficient hatred to have her put to death.
This is the premise for Child of the Morning, based closely on the historical facts. Hatshepsut assumed the throne at the age of fifteen and ruled brilliantly for more than two decades. Her achievements were immortalized on the walls of her magnificent temple at Deir el-Bahri, built by her architect and lover, Senmut.
Sensuous and evocative, Child of the Morning is the story of one of history’s most remarkable women.

When Working at the Smithsonian Institute in April 99, I came across a advanced reading copy of The Hippopotomus Marsh. Haveing never heard of the author or read a book by her I was still drawn to the book so I picked it up. I soon forgot about the book never reading it. In a few months I came across the book while cleaning my house and started to read. Since then I have read this book over 10 times sometimes back to back. It was great! You could feel the emotion through her writing, you could feel the strenth and pain of the characters. I want to read the next book so bad, I want to speak to the author and thank her for the experiance. I just finished reading it (again) and I was enthralled (again). If you want a good story with strong characters, it is the book for you. I am going to look at other books in the genre by this author because of it and I wait with hungry anticipation for the sequal.....I wonder if there is a advanced reading copy at the smithsonian again?
Format:Taschenbuch
I bought this book when it was published in June 1978! I have read it again and again over the years and recently purchased this new one and have retired my original to a special spot on my bookshelf. If I were stranded on a desert island and given only one book to read, this would be it!
Format:Taschenbuch
While reading this book I felt as if I was in Egypt - everything is described so well. You can feel the heat, smell the scented oils, get inside Hatshepset's head. Excellent reading.

very disappointing
I purchased this book anticipating an epic story of Egypt's female pharoah, Hatshepsut. It was a sad tribute to that extraordinary woman and time period. Lesen Sie weiter...
