    About this audiobook

    A dazzling triumph from the bestselling author of "The War of the Roses' - a sweeping and ambitious novel spanning across two eras and the city at the center of it all.

    'Mother Nile' is the story of Si, the American-born son of an Irish father and Egyptian mother, who goes on a journey through the winding streets of the City of the Dead to solve a half-century-old mystery. When his mother makes an urgent plea on her deathbed, Si knows that he must make the journey to Egypt to find out the truth about his long-lost half-sister, conceived during his mother's affair with King Farouk. Hunted by those who would do anything to keep the past in the past, Si finds help from a young woman who captures his heart. He leaves the City of the Dead a changed man. This work of historical fiction takes readers on an adventure brimming with suspense, intrigue, and romance.

    Warning: This book is meant for readers who are 18+ due to mature content.

      This book was very disappointing. A better narrator would have made a world of difference. The narrator’s voice is very monotone. And a more satisfying ending would have helped as well. Finally, it would have helped if the main character had a better sense of why he was looking for his sister.
