    La figlia del faraone
    • È un giorno caldissimo quello in cui, sulle rive del Nilo, Anippe, figlia del faraone Akhenaton, si accorge in lontananza di un oggetto trascinato dalle correnti. Da quando suo padre è morto, e suo fratello Tutankhamen è salito al trono, la ragazza è stata data in sposa a Sebak, uno dei capitani dell'esercito del faraone. Non ancora madre, e col terrore di perdere la vita dando alla luce un figlio, Anippe si rende conto che l'oggetto regalatole dalle acque è un cesto, e che dentro c'è un neonato: senza pensarci due volte, decide di prendere il bambino con sé, e di spacciarlo per il figlio che suo marito vorrebbe da lei. Ma Anippe sa che la sua decisione avrà delle conseguenze: quel bambino è ebreo, figlio di una schiava, affidato al fiume perché possa sfuggire alla persecuzione contro la sua religione, voluta dal faraone stesso. Così, l'uomo che per il suo popolo sarà Mosè, crescerà col nome di Mehy alla corte dei faraoni, come un principe. Mentre Anippe tesserà una tela sempre più grande di inganni e bugie per proteggere quello che per lei è più di un figlio. Ambientato nell'Antico Egitto, un romanzo che mescola verità storica, narrazione biblica e fiction, per restituirei un romanzesco ritratto della figlia del faraone - personaggio che nella Bibbia resta misterioso -, la donna che raccolse Mosè dalle acque del Nilo, dando inizio alla più straordinaria storia di tutti i tempi.

When He whispers a melody, I sing. At eighty-six, Miriam had devoted her entire life to loving El Shaddai and serving His people as both midwife and messenger. Yet when her brother Moses returns to Egypt from exile, he brings a disruptive message. God has a new name – Yahweh – and has declared a radical deliverance for the Israelites. Miriam and her beloved family face an impossible choice: cling to familiar bondage or embrace uncharted freedom at an unimaginable cost.

Enter an exotic land where a cruel Pharaoh reigns, pagan priests wield black arts, and the Israelites cry out to a God they only think they know.

      One of the Bible’s most notorious women longs for a love she cannot have in this captivating novel from the award-winning author of Isaiah’s Legacy. “Mesu Andrews yet again proves her mastery of weaving a rich and powerful biblical story!”—Roseanna M. White, author of A Portrait of Loyalty Before she is Potiphar’s wife, Zuleika is the daughter of a king and the wife of a prince. She rules the isle of Crete alongside her mother in the absence of their seafaring husbands. But when tragedy nearly destroys Crete, Zuleika must sacrifice her future to save the Minoan people she loves. Zuleika’s father believes his robust trade with Egypt will ensure Pharaoh’s obligation to marry his daughter, including a bride price hefty enough to save Crete. But Pharaoh refuses and gives her instead to Potiphar, the captain of his bodyguards: a crusty bachelor twice her age, who would rather have a new horse than a Minoan wife. Abandoned by her father, rejected by Pharaoh, and humiliated by Potiphar’s indifference, Zuleika yearns for the homeland she adores. In the political hotbed of Egypt’s foreign dynasty, her obsession to return to Crete spirals into deception. When she betrays Joseph—her Hebrew servant with the face and body of the gods—she discovers only one love is worth risking everything.
