Wow, this is a GREAT book! If you like historical fiction, this is a great book! Author is Guy Gavriel Kay. Just a beautiful story about a young man, his sister and brother and their ineteractions in the 9th Dynasty court. Lots of espionage, love triangles and twists and turns. I'm only about 250 pages into it (out of 464) but I can't seem to stop thinking about this or reading it! Every once in awhile I like reading historical fiction and this will hopefully make it to my top 10 favs. Anyone read this?
