Book Description

In the tiny hamlet of Aswat, far to the south of the royal capital, a beautiful young girl wants more than the meagre prospects her village offers. Determined and resourceful, she is quick to leap upon an opportunity when the great seer Hui, who is also physician to Pharaoh, visits Aswat to commune with its god, Wepwawet.

Taken under Hui's wing to become a healer, she has no idea of his real plans for her-plans that will bring her close to Pharaoh as his favourite concubine, but will ultimately enmesh her in court intrigue of the most dangerous kind.

House of Dreams is a powerful story of passion and jealousy, rich with the details of Ancient Egyptian life. --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Such a wonderful story teller..., Déc 18 2001
Par Francoise Feuillen (Maubeuge - France) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
As usual Pauline Gedge makes you enter the world of Ancient Egypt keeping you in it until you finished the book. This is just another wonderful story as she knows how to write them.
The sequel "House of Illusions" is not as good though, it seems like she had to write an end to the first one which did not need it. One of my favorite authors anyway.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Masterpiece... Published as "Lady of the Reeds" in the US, Juil 12 2000
Par Un client
House of Dreams is the personal diary of Thu of Aswat, and it is a fascinating document. Written in the first person, each page chronicles her life from poor peasant girl in the rural Nile farming village of Aswat, to favored concubine in the Royal Harem of Ramses III at Pi-Ramesse. Omitting nothing, this blue-eyed daughter of an Egyptian midwife and Libu mercenary takes us on a journey that travels a path from childish innocence to vile debauchery. We are with her every step of the way. We walk with the young Thu as she leads the family bovine "Precious Sweet Eyes" to the banks of the Nile. We plunge into the Nile with Thu in the dead of night and board the barge of the Seer Hui, where she offers her virginity to the gods of ambition. We witness the education and humiliation she endures to achieve external beauty and power. We sympathize with her as she is cruely manipulated by those with a terrible agenda. Sadly we watch, as by her own choice she becomes a murderess to fulfill her impossible dreams. Lady of the Reeds is a self-serving diary, as Thu attempts to justify her actions to all who read it. Not only do we see through this transparancy, but in the end so does she. What is chilling about this story is our recognition... that we all have some Thu in us. The life story of Thu of Aswat continues sixteen years later in the sequel, House of Illusions.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Colourful and entertaining, Nov. 15 1999
Par Kim "kim_budai" (Vancouver, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I had never read any of Pauline Gedge's books before, but when I stumbled across this one, I grabbed it! It's an enjoyable story, and Ms. Gedge kept it simple, which is nice for younger readers, and those who want something fresh and entertaining. It is filled with the history of ancient Egypt, and I found myself drawn into the story and the setting so much that I didn't want the book to end. The sequel, House of Illusions, was very good as well.
