![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The storyline is similar to Arthur Golden’s Memoirs of a Geisha, and I think readers who like an historical romance with realistic detail, will enjoy all the books in this series set in Ancient Egypt, as much as I did: “My love is unique and none can rival her…just by passing, she has stolen away my heart.” The historical accuracy extends to the relationship between Nerfertari and pharaoh Ramesses II, which he described on the wall of her burial chamber: Princess Nefertari’s ascendancy to the throne of Ancient Egypt in the 13th century BC, and the comeuppance of her enemies, are lyrically and precisely depicted. The Heretic Queen is the story of Nefertari, wife of Ramesses the Great and niece of the “heretic queen”, Nefertiti.
