Child of the Morning

A Novel (Rediscovered Classics)

Pauline Gedge

"Child of the Morning" is a mesmerizing historical novel about the remarkable Hatshepsut, who became the Pharaoh of the greatest empire of ancient times. After her sister's death, Hatshepsut is faced with the difficult task of purifying her dynasty's bloodline by marrying her father's illegitimate son. However, her father has other plans - Hatshepsut is to become Pharaoh, much to the dismay of the priests and her jealous half-brother. Based on historical facts, the novel follows Hatshepsut's ascent to power at the age of fifteen and her rule of more than two decades. Her legacy is immortalized on the walls of her magnificent temple, built by her architect and lover, Senmut. With its evocative writing style, "Child of the Morning" is a captivating story of one of history's most remarkable women.
