We’ve all heard the Biblical story of Moses. But The Pharaoh’s Daughter by Mesu Andrews, gives you a new prospective on the Bible story.
The moment I began the first chapter of this book I knew it was going to be good. I grew up in church and Moses was a popular story that I would always hear. I’ve heard it so many times it really doesn’t affect like it did the first time I heard it as a child. But reading this book has changed that. I have a whole new perspective on the story. It definitely changed how I will read the story of Moses for now on.
The Pharaoh’s Daughter tells the Biblical story of Moses through the eyes of the Pharaoh’s daughter and a Hebrew slave. I loved how you not only got the Pharaoh’s daughter perspective, but a Hebrew slave’s perspective too. It gave you a different look to the story that I liked. When you hear the story of Moses you are always told that the Hebrews were enslaved to the Egyptians for centuries. But this would usually come in one ear and out the other.  But when I read this book it definitely changed that. It gave me a perspective of how the Hebrew’s were treated cruelly by the Egyptians.
I loved every aspect of this book. It kept my attention from the beginning till the end. This was the first book I have read that was set in ancient Egypt and I loved it. I definitely makes me want to read a book from this time period again.
I rate this book five out of five stars.


I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
