Product Description

From AudioFile

In Part II of Christian Jacq's four-part novel exploring ancient Egypt, Ramses the Great has died, and his son, Merenptah, has assumed the throne. The forbidden village protected and overseen by Ramses is home to all of Egypt's greatest artists and the sacred Stone of Light. Relationships between the craftsmen are sacred; however, turmoil has caused unrest and distrust. Howard McGillin describes the turmoil and the power that the village's wise woman must marshal to conquer all evil threats. McGillin powerfully portrays historical traditions, creating enduring impressions of ancient Egypt and its people.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Stone of Light: The Wise Woman - Mediocre reading, April 5 2002

By	Nefret, Egyptologist (Table Rock, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wise Woman (Paperback)

For the Egyptophile, The Stone of Light: The Wise Woman is a disappointment and is lackluster in comparision to other volumes. The story line focuses mainly on the sacred Stone of Light, the forbidden village & the Brotherhood. These craftsmen & artists create the great monuments of ancient Egypt. This in itself could be a fascinating story, but it doesn't pan out.
The Wise Woman is one of the central figures, however, there is little emphasis put on her in the book as well. At best it could have been good reading but was uneventful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine, Nov 9 2001

By	Hathor (HK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wise Woman (Paperback)

This is one of the best fictions I have ever read. The author of this book, Christian Jacq, is famous because of the great fction that he wrote about Ramses the second. This time's story occur at the late Ramses period. There is a Stone of Light which is hide in the worker's village in Deir-el Medina. Many people think that the stone is very valueable and try to steal it. This story tells about hoe the workers protect the stone. If you are interested, go and get it fast! You will enjoy it very much!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Stone of Light: The Wise Woman, Jan 17 2001

By	Mhorag Wilderbeek "The Embellisher" (Narraweena, NSW, Aust.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Wise Woman (Paperback)

I have just finished this terrific book. Where is the next one? Again, Christian Jacq has bought to life Nefer, Ubekhet, Paneb, Mehy & the others. It is exciting watching Paneb develope into the man he has. Ubekhet is so gentle, but very, very strong, seeing her character evolve is wonderful, & Nefer, the silent one, leading the others to great heights. Thank you Christian Jacq for sharing this wonderful world of Egypt with us. Please continue writing & sharing this great ancient nation.
