Product Description

Book Description

When Huy is sent away from his family's farm to a prestigious school for a chance at a better life as a scribe, he is soon befriended by the family of the local governor. But just as Huy starts to feel at home with his aristocratic new friends, an unexpected attack shockingly takes his life. After five days in a crypt being prepared for his own burial, Huy miraculously revives. His mysterious return to life makes him a pariah, and although he longs to lead a normal life, Huy finds himself haunted by visions of the deaths of those around him. An ingenious and suspenseful novel of ancient Egypt, The Twice Born is a treat for all fans of historical or fantasy fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amunhotep, the early years, Sep 23 2008

By	posthumouse "http://freshinkbooks.blogspot.com/" (Canada) - See all my reviews

Twice Born is the first of a new trilogy about Huy, son of Hapu. Known in history as Amunhotep, he was a real and significant figure in Egypt whose achievements were inscribed and survive to this day. But his personal life and origins remain unknown. Pauline Gedge has imaginatively created this story of his early years and development into a seer. The story begins when Huy, son of Hapu, is barely four years old. We follow him through school with noble's children and friendship with the governor's son Thothmes, and his sisters. Well-written and full of fascinating details of the daily life and customs about food, drink, clothing, jewellry, oils and perfumes, medicines, games, funeral customs and much more, the story keeps us engrossed. Then a shocking transformation occurs following a fatal accident while he is still a boy that will determine his future fate. Some family and friends fear the changes in him while many of the common people and priests will revere him for his new powers of insight. Huy is a likeable person who longs for the simple life even while he knows he's been chosen to serve Egypt in a much greater capacity than the farmer's son he is. He will experience love and disappointment, struggling in the final years of his youth to accept his own destiny as Seer of Egypt. The readers in this family are waiting intently for the continuation of the story. No one does ancient Egypt like Pauline Gedge. Treat yourself and read it, I recommend it highly.
The second book of the trilogy is entitled Seer of Egypt and will be released in November 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pauline Gedge at her best, April 22 2009

By	Henri Thibodeau (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Twice Born (Paperback)

"The Twice Born" was a real treat for me as a long-time fan of Pauline Gedge. I fell in love with her historical fiction set in Ancient Egypt when I first read "House of Illusions" a few years back. I have since read most of her work, reveling in her vivid description of life in Ancient Egypt. She has a knack for bringing this ancient world back to life, making you feel as if you where there. However, I was somewhat disappointed with her "Lord of Two Lands" trilogy, which did not recapture for me the excitement I found in her earlier work. "The Twice Born" brought back the excitement I felt reading her previous books. My only thing criticism is her treatment of Huy, the main character, as a four-year old, which seemed a bit off; but still, this is definitely a page turner. I can't wait to read the second volume, "The Seer of Egypt". I recommend Pauline Gedge to anyone having an interest in historical fiction.
