Nefertiti
Nefertiti: A Novel | Michelle Moran
Nefertiti and her younger sister, Mutnodjmet, have been raised in a powerful family that has provided wives to the rulers of Egypt for centuries. Ambitious, charismatic, and beautiful, Nefertiti is destined to marry Amunhotep, an unstable young pharaoh. It is hoped by all that her strong personality will temper the young Amunhoteps heretical desire to forsake Egypts ancient gods, overthrow the priests of Amun, and introduce a new sun god for all to worship. From the moment of her arrival in Thebes, Nefertiti is beloved by the people. Her charisma is matched only by her husbands perceived generosity: Amunhotep showers his subjects with lofty promises. The love of the commoners will not be enough, however, if the royal couple is not able to conceive an heir, and as Nefertiti turns her attention to producing a son, she fails to see that the powerful priests, along with the military, are plotting against her husbands rule. The only person wise enough to recognize the shift in political windsand brave enough to tell the queenis her younger sister, Mutnodjmet. Observant and contemplative, Mutnodjmet has never shared her sisters desire for power. She yearns for a quiet existence away from family duty and the intrigues of court. Her greatest hope is to share her life with the general who has won her heart. But as Nefertiti learns of the precariousness of her reign, she declares that her sister must remain at court and marry for political gain, not love. To achieve her independence, Mutnodjmet must defy her sister, the most powerful woman in Egyptwhile also remaining loyal to the needs of her family. Love, betrayal, political unrest, plague, and religious conflictNefertiti brings ancient Egypt to life in vivid detail. Fast-paced and historically accurate, it is the dramatic story of two unforgettable women living through a remarkable period in history. From the Hardcover edition.

"It's what she has chosen. One daughter reached for the sun, and the other is content to feel its rays on her garden. They are different, that is all."
This is a solid book about Nefertitis life and those around here told from the pov of her half-sister Mutnodjmet. I loved how interesting all the characters were, and I was super intrigued with the history of Egypt.

The author did an excellent job of taking what little is known about Nefertiti and turning it into an intriguing story. She follows Nefertiti's life through the eyes of her sister. I'll definitely read more of this author's books. #ReadingAfrica2022 #Egypt #AlmostAChunksterChallenge (464 pages).

An interesting historical novel that, while grounded in research, includes a good bit of speculation about Nefertiti, her life, and her family. It is told from the perspective of her sister, who is a much more sympathetic character than Nefertiti. It was a very different historical period for me that frequently sent me down the research rabbit hole. Definitely a worthwhile read. Thanks again, @Eggs

Moran spins a wonderful historical fiction by cleverly choosing the less popular sister to tell the life & story of her dominating & selfish sibling, also the Pharaoh of Egypt.Nefertiti & her husband unleash a tempestuous period of change on the otherwise risk averse Egypt, thereby earning wrath of powerful allies.What follows is political drama detailing the majestic rise & pulverising fall of an Empire, culminating in the wipeout of a city.

This one was a bit on the long side but I flew right through it because it was so hard to put down. The story of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti's rise to power told from the viewpoint of her sister and faithful servant, Mutnodjmet. Lives, dreams,and legacies were constantly in danger but the story was well balanced with interesting details of every day life for women in Ancient Egypt. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Moran has taken what we know about Nefertiti & the 18th Dynasty to create a novel full of political intrigue with alliances that change suddenly whilst people are ruled by a zealous Pharaoh & narcissistic Queen. I was swept away by this book as Mutnodjmet recounts her time living in the shadow of Nefertiti; her innocence offers a balanced view to the cruelty of royalty & politics.

#StaycationInTimeSwap #Books #AncientEgypt #Nefertiti #History

JaneyWaneyB I couldn't fit in everything I wanted to say about this book so a few more comments from me...Moran uses description to help the reader imagine the beauty & culture of ancient Egypt. A must-read for anyone with a fondness for Ancient Egypt & a time we can only dream of. 5y

Trying to keep cool on this August Bank Holiday, it's hit 30°c which for us Brits is a tad warm😓 but I've solved it...find a spot by the fan and read the afternoon away.

This book is good so far, I never knew Nefertiti was so manipulative and politically minded even at the age of 16. Hearing the story from the younger sister, Mutnodjmet, offers an innocence to the tale but how long till she is corrupted by the court?

I finished this yesterday and it was just okay. I hated the way she portrayed Nefertiti. She had no depth, just an arrogant, plotting, deceitful woman who was never happy and always wanted more. This just wasn‘t the historical fiction I was hoping for about such a powerful historical figure. The writing is good but the plot didnt keep me wanting more.

An awesome read with drama:- love, betrayal, deception and lies. This story was told from Mutny or Mutnodjmet (Nefertiti's younger sister) point of view. Nefertiti was the charmer, beautiful one, recalcitrant and power consumed sister, while Mutny was the kind, honest and wise sister. Although they were different and did not see eye to eye on certain issues, their love for one another and their family, surpassed all these. Very engaging read!
