- Latest Review: The Pale Flesh of Wood by Elizabeth A. Tucker
I have always loved historical fiction, and have never before come across a story that tries to tackle this time period. Reading the history on its own can be very black-and-white, detached, and potentially boring. However, N.L. Holmes paints a picture of Egypt under Akhenaten’s rule that is emotionally devastating. Lord Hani’s relationship with his family is one of the most genuine and heart-warming that I have seen portrayed, and the author beautifully captures the familial drama that can unfold when everything you have ever known is forced to change.
Isn't it impressive that we can still relate to the struggles of a family that lived in a culture and time so different from ours? Some authors work that magic. I think, too, that historical fiction is one of the best ways to learn history.
Thank you for your analytical review.
