    Her brother’s lover. All of Egypt’s shame....Ankesunamun is born a royal princess to an Egyptian king – an heretical king, bent on transforming the country to his singular vision and worship of the One God. The cost is high, but pharaoh is blind to the suffering and rivers of blood that come at his command, and deaf to the angry cries of his country.Heresy and disorder reign as Ankesunamun grows up surrounded by plague, bitter rivalry, jealousy, and anarchy. The ancient world of an heretic princess is over-shadowed by danger – but also love and loyalty. Her brothers, Smenkhare and Tutankhamun, are brought to live with the royal family in a foundling city; and Ankesunamun finds herself irresistibly, inescapably drawn to her older brother, the man destined to be her sister’s husband. Married off to Tutankhamun instead, Ankesunamun finds that cannot forget her erstwhile lover, invoking her proud sister’s jealous and fatal wrath.But there’s more at stake than a lover’s secret and a sister’s vengeance. As the country degrades into tumultuous rebellion, and death lurks so very closely stealing away those she loves most, Ankesunamun is brought to the throne alongside Tutankhamun – a child king who is determined on the path of battle-glory and over-turning his father’s destructive legacy, resurrecting an Egypt of old. But already somebody is plotting for the crown that rests so tenuously on the Boy King’s head… In this story of incestuous love and riotous anarchy, there are secrets, betrayals, passion, destruction of cities, and death. Ancient Egypt and the world of Tutankhamun comes to life through The Heretic’s Daughter, weaving an engrossing, thought-provoking web of intrigue and obsession – all in the words of the one person who might just have survived the destruction of one of Egypt’s great dynasties.

    Tom Chesshyre took a different approach - he jumped on a plane and became the first to return to the region as a tourist. The result is the fascinating, street-level tale of a journey through lands fresh from revolution – Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. Chesshyre heads for tourist sites that few have seen in recent years, as well as new 'attractions' like Gaddafi's bombed-out bunker in Tripoli. In a book both touching and humorous, he describes being abducted in Libya, listening to the sound of Kalashnikovs at night and talking to ordinary people struggling to get by.  On the second anniversary of the Arab Spring, this is the ideal time for this book.
