However, the library can be a very overwhelming place (I know that all too well myself), so if they don't have some sort of plan going in, they end up coming home with stuff that just sits untouched in the library basket because they weren't actually interested in reading it-they just wanted to choose something. ![]() Okay, so before you all think that I'm some extremely controlling mother who monitors every single word my children read, let me just defend myself by saying this: I am totally fine with letting my kids choose (some of) their own books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But, that will also be the same thing that pushed their marriage far ahead to the point where no repair will be possible.

This is a facinating tale, one which causes a renewed appreciation for the great Oxford English Dictionary, read by the author with the exact pitch, pace and power required. ![]() This story focuses primarily on three men who devoted their lives to this exercise in endurance, one involuntarily and indirectly being Mr George Merritt (English) one with captured time Mr William Merritt (American) and a methodical and meticulous Scotsman, Mr James Murray (later knighted). What is English? What meanings do words have? Is grammar important? How are dictionaries made and more importantly how was the greatest English dictionary ever compiled, made? This is NOT a work of fiction, it is the true, well researched story of how the Oxford English Dictionary was meticulously, researched, compiled and willed into existence by many many English and American studious and diligent readers, compilers, editors, typesetters and a University that continued to believe in the absolute necessity to document the English language. ![]() ![]() Red-haired and relatively tall, Ramesses also bore many, many children (estimates top 100) with his many, many consorts (which likely include several of his own daughters) and actively contributed to his larger than life persona in many, many ways. The historical Pharaoh Ramesses II ruled Egypt for almost 70 years, overseeing one of Egypt’s most prodigious periods of growth and stability during the 19th dynasty. As a novel, The Heretic Queen offers a historically altered but readable story, the strengths of which are also some of its weaknesses. ![]() In The Heretic Queen, for example, there is a somewhat idealized portrayal of Ramesses and his Chief Wife Nefertari, who seem both more and less than is suggested by the mammoth images that still exist to memorialize their contributions to ancient Egypt. While I was reading your new novel, The Heretic Queen, I kept thinking about Shelley’s poem about Ramesses II, “Ozymandias,” especially these lines: `My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’ The theme of Shelley’s poem is the impermanence of human power, which is echoed in your novel in the sense that the legacy of these historical figures is both greater and lesser than their actual human-ness. ![]() Janet C+ Reviews Egypt / Historical Romances / politics 11 Comments DecemREVIEW: The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran ![]() |
