«La dama del Nilo» is the historical novel by Pauline Gedge that recreates the life of Pharaoh Hatshepsut, in paperback (363 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt as pharaoh some sixteen centuries before Cleopatra, in a world reserved for men. The novel shows her rise to power, her learning in the art of war and government, and her determination to leave her mark on temples and monuments against those who wanted to condemn her memory to oblivion.
The work was originally published in 1977 under the title «Child of the Morning»; this Spanish edition is from 1994.
Suitable for readers of historical fiction and for those who enjoy ancient Egypt and its pharaohs.
