Product Description

Review

"Cecelia Holland's novel "Valley of the Kings "deftly re-creates the Egypt of Howard Carter in the early 20th century as that single-minded archeologist searches for the tomb of King Tutankhamen.With Carter as her narrator, Holland describes the heat, dust, thievery and bureaucracy of the time. Her evocative prose is vivid and exotic allowing the reader to hear the buzz of tropical flies and feel as sweat-soaked as her characters."--"The Cleveland Plain Dealer"
"["Valley of the Kings]" is a must for Holland fans, and solid fare for everyone else."--"Publishers Weekly"


Product Description

This is the true story of Howard Carter, the archaeologist who brought to the West one of the greatest historical treasures in recorded history: the hidden tomb of the child-Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly easy read, 1 Nov 2009
By John Hopper (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
A more straightforward story than her other novels and easier to read than some. The 1922 section is fairly exciting in places, though the ancient Egyptian characters never come across as real to me.
