The Pharaoh's Daughter CA

A Treasures of the Nile Novel

By: Mesu Andrews

Narrated by: Robin Miles

"You will be called Anippe, daughter of the Nile. Do you like it?" Without waiting for a reply, she pulls me into her squishy, round tummy for a hug. I'm trying not to cry. Pharaoh's daughters don't cry. When we make our way down the tiled hall, I try to stop at ummi Kiya's chamber. I know her spirit has flown, yet I long for one more moment. Amenia pushes me past so I keep walking and don't look back. Like the waters of the Nile, I will flow.

Anippe has grown up in the shadows of Egypt's good god Pharaoh, aware that Anubis, god of the afterlife, may take her or her siblings at any moment. She watched him snatch her mother and infant brother during childbirth, a moment that awakened in her a terrible dread of ever bearing a child. Now she is to be become the bride of Sebak, a kind but quick-tempered Captain of Pharaoh Tut's army. In order to provide Sebak the heir he deserves yet protect herself from the underworld gods, Anippe must launch a series of deceptions, even involving the Hebrew midwives - women ordered by Tut to drown the sons of their own people in the Nile.

When she finds a baby floating in a basket on the great river, Anippe believes Egypt's gods have answered her pleas, entrenching her more deeply in deception and placing her and her son, Mehy, whom handmaiden Miriam calls Moses, in mortal danger. As bloodshed and savage politics shift the balance of power in Egypt, the gods reveal their fickle natures, and Anippe wonders if her son, a boy of Hebrew blood, could one day become king. Or does the god of her Hebrew servants, the one they call El Shaddai, have a different plan - for them all?

Another Amazing Book by Mesu Andrews

Every time I finish another book by Mesu Andrews, I proclaim it the best. Her ability to weave a story through historical and biblical facts amazes me. This faith strengthening book, Pharaoh's Daughter, didn't disappoint. I laughed, I cried, and read late into the night. This is definitely my favorite book... until the next one, anyway.

Loved it!

Very well researched & interesting. I look forward to reading more of her books. Highly recommend.

Well developed characters

I actually became so emotionally involved with the characters that I actually found myself crying.

Excellent Read

Mesu Andrews and the narrator are the perfect combination for a GREAT read (listen). I enjoyed every minute!!!

Biblical fiction at its BEST.

Mesu Andrews weaves Biblical fact with some fiction to create novels that will keep you listening (audiobook listener) when you probably should be doing other things! 😂
Her telling of Old Testament events adds detail that we might miss otherwise. Great novels, every one of them.

Trilling Bibical & Egyptian fiction at its BEST!

Outstanding! Couldn’t stop listening to this story of Pharaoh’s daughter who found & raised Moses. So much rich history & woven story wrapped in amazing details. Cannot say enough! You will not be disappointed by this author or this fantastic book!

Sooo good, but then...brick wall

Would you listen to The Pharaoh's Daughter CA again? Why?

YES! It is addictive, intelligently written, and I enjoyed it very much.

Any additional comments?

The thing I did not like, is that there is a series of books here but this appears to be the only one available in audiobook format. For all I can tell, the continuing story simply is not available to listen to, and neither the publisher nor the author have answered my queries on the subject, as of yet. I hate it when I get sucked into a good book and then find the rest of the series inaccessible.

Good Story

I am only disappointed with the narrators accent for the Hebrews. To me it sounds like German Baby Talk and made the Hebrews sound ignorant.

Mesu, Thank you for a very good story and all your research.
