«La Dame du Nil» is the historical novel by Pauline Gedge, published by Le Grand Livre du Mois in hardback (403 pages, in French).
Thirty-five centuries ago, Hatshepsut defied the conventions of ancient Egypt to rule as pharaoh, not as queen consort. The novel traces her rise to the throne, her mastery of the arts of war and government, and her determination to lead an empire on her own terms, even though her name would eventually be erased from dynastic monuments. The work presents her as the only woman who reigned in Egypt with the title of pharaoh.
The original work, «Child of the Morning», was published in 1977; this French edition appeared in 1992.
For readers of historical fiction and fiction set in ancient Egypt, interested in fictionalised biographies of women rulers.
