True, You're probably right. I liked Nefertari as a character better. It also helped that at least Nefertari's story ended happily for the most part, where Mutny's story had tragic conclusion (though Munty's life wasn't that great either).


To me it's one thing that history got right. Even though Cleopatra had a hard life at least her daughter got a happy ending.






But they still only buy new books when they're really popular,so it's a bit frustrating...





I am finishing Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution by Michelle Moran. It is one of the best historical fiction books I've read.
I've read The Second Empress: A Novel of Napoleon's Court, and it was very good. Though it doesn't compare to Madame Tussaud.
After reading this thread, Ive decided I will read The Heretic Queen next. (I was trying to decide between Nefertiti and the Heretic Queen.)
Michelle Moran is becoming a favorite author of mine. :)
Is The Heretic Queen very different from Nefertiti??? I loved Nefertiti.
I would like to read Madame Tussaud.
I couldn't live in a town without libraries or a library.

I've read and enjoyed all of Michelle Moran's books. She is my favorite author, after all! The Heretic Queen isn't much different than Nefertiti, in the way of culture and customs, but the circumstances are quite diferent. Nefertari is prejudiced because of a misunderstanding about her aunt, and the story is written in the point of view of the central character (while Nefertiti was written in the POV of the queen's sister, Mutnodjmet). But, if you loved Nefertiti, I'm sure that you will enjoy The Heretic Queen.



Can you believe that we have to wait until 2014 to read the next Michelle Moran novel? I am positively dying to read more!

Oh my gosh! "Back off, peasants!" That's too funny! I agree with you, Nefertiti is extremely fascinating.
