Ershaf Amun

Ershaf Amun knows that his love for Alemi is fated. The handsome Nubian priest cannot share his life with a servant girl from the desert... it's unheard of, and besides he is married, and has a place in Egyptian society. With all the trials life throws at them, it's a question of survival for Ershaf and Alemi, as much as love, earthquake, injury, a tribal vendetta and infidelity by his wife... and then Ershaf's senses start to fail. Who can he turn to but Alemi, his faithful Alemi? Cultural clashes, family squabbles, loyalty and forbidden love form the core of this enchantingly romantic tale set on the banks of the Nile and amid the scorching sands of Ancient Egypt. Finely drawn characters, a splendid sense of time and locale, and plenty of contemporary resonances make 'Ershaf Amun' a novel that will have a widespread appeal to modern readers.
