Along with Charleston Library Society, join us to celebrate the publication of Daughter of Egypt, from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie Benedict.
Based on the real figures who discovered and eventually opened the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun, journey across the sands of time to discover another infamous ruler, Hatshepsut, whose reign has been lost in history. Follow two venturesome women divided by centuries in an evening with Marie Benedict to learn the history behind this inevitable bestseller.
About the Book:
In the 1920s, archaeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Nearly 3,000 years earlier, another woman defied the expectations of her time: Hatshepsut, Egypt’s lost pharaoh. Her reign was bold, visionary—and almost erased from history. When Evelyn becomes obsessed with finding Hatshepsut’s secret tomb, she risks everything to uncover the truth about her reign and keep valued artifacts in Egypt, their rightful home. But as danger closes in and political tensions rise, she must make an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own. Propelled by high adventure and deadly intrigue, Daughter of Egypt is the story of two ambitious women who lived centuries apart. Both were forced to hide who they were during their lifetimes, yet ultimately changed history forever.
