"'...has grace and depth which no sheer technique could achieve. I have been enthralled by the book as by nothing I have read for years' - Sunday Times 'For there is about this book, whether the author intended it or not: this picture of a land ruled with justice, a land where those in power had minds rooted in unchanging principles, evokes a sick longing in the reader's heart as he looks about him in a world where even the most advanced reformers see as their aim a race of corn-fed half-wits living in State stables, with roomier stalls and ampler grain for those who neigh "the State" the loudest...It is a fundamental book, a book having the root of the matter of all human existence' Observer 'Enthralling... full of incident and conflict. The book stands out, inspired by clarity and beauty' The Spectator"
Reseña del editor
This is the story, told in the first person, of a co-ruler of Egypt of the First Dynasty - Sekeeta, a priestess rigorously trained in the temple, joined in ceremonial marriage to her brother Neyah. Sekeeta's happy childhood, her training for command, a brief love affair resulting in the birth of a daughter, the repulse of a foreign invasion and a fulfilled old age make up the skeleton of 'the account of a life and way of life so full that one could be tempted to think the author must have lived it'.
