I read the first book about the adventures of Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody .
I've always been attracted to stories related to mythology in general and in particular that of the ancient Egyptians.
Amelia Peabody is a very determined woman, but her strength comes from the fact that it is in possession of a large fortune that he inherited from his father
.
With the power of money can establish itself in situations where women would be marginalized (as we are in 1884).
The girl after receiving the inheritance decided to go to Egypt and begin to travel the journey mondo.Durante Soccoro in Rome a girl named Evelyn.Le two become best friends and they come across during the adventure two archaeologists.
For a number of events together with scholars to find a dig to fight a mummy who does not like them presence ...
I had read good reviews and reviews riguardo.La first part was a bit boring then when we entered the 'challenge of the mystery of the mummy' history has become more compelling.
The character of Amelia is definitely very strong and sometimes arrogant.
A fun aspect in some cases, but sometimes annoying.
can almost imagine that, thanks to only having a significant economic force, it acts as if he could control everything and everyone and this is definitely something that I do not like a person in general, but certainly for the time a woman so it was hard to find, and this certainly makes the character unique.
I expected more action directly by the main character (as I am used to the adventures of Anita Blake) but I think it is often impossible given that the protagonist's actions were tied to the conventions sociali.Quindi a woman eg. should always dress in certain ways (clothes inconvenient and time), moving with the right companies, and so on .. Indeed
Amelia, who speaks in first person, often emphasizes this aspect by describing in detail the clothing and how it is inconvenient.
