Overview

Thirty-five centuries ago the sun had a daughter: Hatshepsut. Youngest daughter of the Pharaoh, she was a lithe and magical child. But when her older sister died, it became her duty to purify the dynasty’s bloodline. She was to wed Thothmes, her father’s illegitimate son, who was heir to the throne. But fearing his son’s incompetence, Hatshepsut’s father came to her with startling news. She was to be Pharaoh, ruler of the greatest empire the world had ever known—provided, of course, that the unprecedented ascension by a woman did not inspire the priests to treason or instill in her half-brother and future consort sufficient hatred to have her put to death.

More About This Book

Overview

Thirty-five centuries ago the sun had a daughter: Hatshepsut. Youngest daughter of the Pharaoh, she was a lithe and magical child. But when her older sister died, it became her duty to purify the dynasty’s bloodline. She was to wed Thothmes, her father’s illegitimate son, who was heir to the throne. But fearing his son’s incompetence, Hatshepsut’s father came to her with startling news. She was to be Pharaoh, ruler of the greatest empire the world had ever known—provided, of course, that the unprecedented ascension by a woman did not inspire the priests to treason or instill in her half-brother and future consort sufficient hatred to have her put to death.

            This is the premise for Child of the Morning, based closely on the historical facts. Hatshepsut assumed the throne at the age of fifteen and ruled brilliantly for more than two decades. Her achievements were immortalized on the walls of her magnificent temple at Deir el-Bahri, built by her architect and lover, Senmut.

            Sensuous and evocative, Child of the Morning is the story of one of history’s most remarkable women.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
While Hatshepsut, Egypt's only woman Pharoah, was considered a god, Gedge portrays her as very much a human being in this fine historical tale. (May)

    Solid read

    I enjoyed learning about the female King of Egypt, Hatshepsut. Her life was amazing! Pauline Gedge presents historical fiction in a beautiful way. The book had flaws; for one, time flow was irregular. Some parts I wanted more detail while others should have been glossed over. The love story was not the whole story but it highlighted some of the rather dry descriptive style. Overall I give it four stars and I would read another book by this author.

    Excellent Addition to Fiction Collection, Especially Ancient Fiction

    This was the second book I read by Pauline Gedge. "Child of the Morning" is my favorite book by her.

    I had cursory knowledge of the existence of Queen Hatshepsut until I read this book. It begins a little slow, but then explodes into a tale that is fairly accurate and amazingly described. I felt like I was reading an exquisitely accurate recollection of the heroine. I had wondered what it was like to be transported back in time to the palaces by the Nile and experience the culture - this book accomplished it for me.

    I have read many books about Cleopatra and Nefertiti. It was wonderful to read a novel about another strong and complex woman from Egypt's extensive history.

    If you are interested in a wonderfully written novel that probes the depths of Egyptian politics, culture and a woman who dared to become a pharaoh, this book is for you. Egyptophiles and archaeophiles will become entranced by it and will need to add it to their collection.

    Excellent Historical Fiction about Woman Pharaoh

    Contrary to what the first review listed says, Hatshepsut the woman Pharaoh left many monuments and statues. Unfortunately her successor, Thutmose III destroyed as much as he could due to the heresy of a woman being a pharaoh. But check out any good history of Egypt: there are statues and monuments that have survived and establish that she was a real person who ruled for 22 peaceful years. This book is excellent, well written and one of my favorites. It makes you feel as if you are living in ancient Egypt.

    Fantastic historical fiction

    I came across this book and the writer when I discovered the Hera Series. After finishing the Hera Series I immediately had to research and buy many of Pauline Gedge's books. The Child of the Morning was fasinating and the first book I ever read about Egypt. My daughter also has read almost all of her books.

    Historical Fiction Genius

    This is such an historically accurate book. It is mainly based on archaeological evidence; but contains just enough fictional elements to make it interesting to read. This book is about the life of the first female pharaoh, Hatshepsut. It follows her life to her death including important aspects of her reigns and her acquaintances. Gedge intertwines history and entertainment to create a very insightful story about this memorable queen and pharaoh.

    best "princess story" ever

    I first got a passion for the land of ancient egypt when i was 6 and it has been ongoing for 13 years now. i first read this book when i was 10 and i was taken away by the way ms gedge describes the life of my favorite egyptian princess. it was outstanding. finally a book that brought her to life the way no other book has done.
