Read by Linda Jones
Charlotte Cross is an assistant curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in 1978. She's quietly conducting Egyptology research that harkens back to her only experience in Egypt, which took place before WWII. Linda Jones's excellent narration reflects Charlotte's ambivalence: She's determined to prove her controversial theory about an Egyptian ruler but fearful of returning to Cairo and reliving her devastating experience of 1936.

I have no words to adequately respond to the devastating fires in LA right now. I’ve been going through this spreadsheet of mutual aid requests and making donations along with making a recurring donation to World Central Kitchen. To my Angeleno friends - we’re here for you, now and in the months and years to come as you rebuild. I can’t believe I used to look forward to jet lag.

Hathorkare was an Egyptian woman who married the pharaoh Saukemet I, though she was unable to bear him a son to carry on his reign.

Reading is fundamental to every task within an integrated communications firm—but it’s not always what any professional would refer to as “fun.”Necessary? Yes. Instructional and always integral to a successful project or campaign? You bet. But enchanting, gleeful, and fantastical? Not always.

One purpose of this micro genre is to give form and detail to the “lost history of women”. Many writers have tried to reconcile this lost history by filling in the gaps: taking what is known about one woman and the era she lived in, and creating an account that brings light to that specific time and place. These novels are steeped in well-researched historically accurate facts, but are also intimate and personal—showing what it may have been like to walk in these women’s shoes.
