Mara Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGraw

This is one of my very favorite suspense/romance books. There's a lot of Egyptian history and the author really gives you the feel of the time period.

The characters are so beautifully done and the storyline is realistic. I like having at least one GOOD character to rely on throughout a book. This has one.

I first read this when I was probably twelve, but it still keeps my attention.

If you want something to pull you along and yet be easy enough to read at bedtime, I recommend this. :)
