Book Review: Daughter of Egypt: A Novel by Marie Benedict

It looks like you are asking for a review of a book titled Daughter of Egypt: A Novel by Marie Benedict.

While Marie Benedict is widely known for her excellent historical fiction unearthing the hidden lives of women in history—such as Mileva Marić in The Other Einstein (Wardani et al., 2024), Belle da Costa Greene in The Personal Librarian, and Clementine Churchill in Lady Clementine (Gates, 2021)—she has not actually written a book titled Daughter of Egypt.

Because Marie Benedict frequently uncovers historical women, it is very possible you are thinking of a similar upcoming title, or perhaps mixing up the author with another prominent historical fiction novelist. For instance, books with similar tones or titles include:

• The Heretic Queen or The Cleopatra Shadow by Michelle Moran (famous for her historical novels set in ancient Egypt, like Nefertiti).
• The Wharton Plot or The Mitford Affair (some of Marie Benedict’s actual recent releases).

If you are thinking of a different author who wrote a book called Daughter of Egypt, or if there is another specific Marie Benedict book you meant to review, let me know! I would love to write a deep-dive review article on the correct title for you.
