Book description
From the bestselling author of Lady of Hay comes Whispers in the Sand,
set in richly mysterious Egypt, where past and present collide.
Recently divorced, Anna decides to cheer herself up by retracing a
journey her great grandmother made in the nineteenth century: a Nile
cruise from Luxor to the Valley of the Kings.
Anna carries with her on the voyage two mementoes of her
great-grandmother Louisa: an ancient Egyptian scent bottle, and the
diary of that original Nile cruise, which has lain unread for a hundred
years. As she follows in Louisa's footsteps, Anna discovers in the diary
the chilling secret of the scent bottle and is pursued by the same
terrifying spectres as her great grandmother. Praise for Barbara Erskine
