"Egypt's Sister" by Angela Hunt is a Novel of Cleopatra: The Silent Years. Chava is the childhood best friend of Urbi, better known to the world as Cleopatra. The two girls are educated together, they are confidants, they are everything to each other. Then when Urbi takes over reign of Egypt, she offers Chava, a Hebrew, the gift of citizenship. All she has to do is worship Egyptian gods. When she refuses, her family is imprisoned and sold into slavery. For 15 years she lives the life of a slave, eventually making her way back to Egypt.
This is a very good book. It is incredibly informative as well as entertaining. The writing is very well done. Hunt is a well known writer and her reputation is well earned. I highly recommend this book, not only for history buffs, but for those that just want to read a good story. I received this book in exchange for an honest review from Bethany House Publishers.
