After I heard Mesu Andrews speak about how much research she does (she only writes one book a year), I'm very comfortable reading her books. She not only studies the original translations, but she also finds uses other historical texts to research settings and other characters of the story -- in this case, ancient Egypt, the pharaohs and how other classes lived.<br /><br />It is fiction of course, but it's as realistic as we can hope for. I hope that helps.Angie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13487012722258208047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793332551228948572.post-27586759105681683072016-03-17T11:44:04.714-04:002016-03-17T11:44:04.714-04:00I don't know.
