Nefertiti is an amazingly intriguing historic fiction based on the life of Nefertiti of ancient Egypt, much before the era of Ramses and Moses. Its a brilliantly researched work and its very close to the the reality of Bronze age Egypt. This books details the story of the rise of Nefertiti as the Queen of Egypt and her adventures and misadventures, her beauty and her lust for power, her cruelty that even devoured the first son of her dear sister in her womb. The religious revolution that she and her husband (Amunhotep) started ultimately consumed these co-regents clearing the path to the crown open to the son (Tutankhamen) of her arch-rival queen. Its a must read to anyone who is interested in ancient Egypt and who think that Cleopatra is not the end of Egypt. Highly Recommended (8/10)
Sometimes i think i am very lucky to live in this era where you can get a book by click of a button at your doorstep, i always dream to see myself busy in the stack of books and that wish is coming to reality in many ways. I have also made a sort of commitment that i will not watch any political news on TV, utter waste of precious minutes, May be i should boycott all the news channel.
