Customer Review: Thank Heaven I can return it to the library!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
<Shudders> It was horribe! Not a single character was believable. There were times when I felt sympathetic to Taita, the all-knowing, toot-his-own-horn slave, but those times were short-lived. The flowery/snobbish language made me want to puke. I don't think you could go more than two or three pages without the author saying "this very Egypt" or "our very Egypt". It got old quick. It may have been a good book if it was no more than 350 pages, but I couldn't finish. I'm so glad I didn't buy it.
