The Cry of the Nile: A Life in the Age of Pharaohs

Set in Egypt during 1360 BCE, The Cry of the Nile explores the tumultuous era sparked by Pharaoh Akhenaten's sweeping religious reforms, which threaten to dismantle the very fabric of civilization. As temples close and gods are erased, ordinary citizens—including a scribe, a priestess, and a soldier—are forced to navigate the tension between obedience and their conscience. Spanning four decades from Thebes to the reign of Tutankhamun, this novel poignantly illustrates the enduring struggle to preserve history and identity in the face of relentless state-sanctioned erasure.
