The May 19, 2011 meeting: Discuss "The Egyptian" by Mika Waltari

This was selected by Louis. We'll meet at Jessica's where there may be a mystery guest (not sure). The Egyptian was published in the US in 1949 and is 512 pages long. Its author is Finland's best-known writer, and so  this selection qualifies as belonging  to the previous topic of "books by Scandinavian Authors" , as well as the current topic of  "Historical Fiction".

"Waltari successfully combine[s] research, imagination, and the cunning of a good tale-teller in bringing the generation of Akhnaton to life.” —New York Herald Tribune
"A grand immersion into an epic tale." —Philadelphia Inquirer

Unfortunately, there is no Kindle edition :(
