The River God by Wilbur Smith

This was one of my Aunt’s favorite book series and she bought me the whole set. This is one of those books that inspires you to get on the internet and find out more about that period in history. Set in Ancient Eygpt, it’s the story of a young girl who falls in love, marries a Pharoah and is forced to flee an invading force with her young son. The story was excellent and exciting. Definatly one that you stay up late to read.

Unfortunatly I hated the main character! The story is told from the point of view of a slave who is totally annoying! He basically invented everything and saved everybody or so he thinks. The would have been better without him~!
