Wilbur Smith - River God

I borrowed this book from Miki's friend Annemarie. The story follows the life of Taita, a slave in ancient Egypt and his exploits and the people in his life.





I found the book very absorbing and the imagery gripping, the descriptions of the cruelty of the times was disturbing in a way that makes you glad to be alive in modern times and the author describes the main characters flaws in a great way (Taita is a coward at heart, but over comes his cowardice when those he loves are in danger). A great read, I may very well invest in some of Smith's over novels.
