![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rescued, and squirming under Amelia's gentle ministrations, Emerson wastes little time in recovering his irascible nature, but to Amelia's dismay, he seems to have no recollection of who she is! But every confidence meets with disaster when Emerson is ambushed, kidnapped, and severely wounded on the road to Luxor. She is hopeful that their time alone together will rekindle old flames. Her son's budding affaire de coeur reminds Amelia of her once-tumultuous romance with Emerson. Ramses' new obsession does not deter him from putting in his two cents worth, however, in a series of lengthy epistles to Egypt, containing enough elaborate syntax and romantic ardor to stretch his mother's patience to the very breaking point. The object of his affection is 13-year-old Nefret, the auburn-haired beauty the Emersons rescued from the clutches of the ancient city of Napata, now safe in England where the needlessly solicitous Ramses can keep a watchful eye on her. At the tender age of 11, Ramses has fallen in love. This adventure transports Amelia Peabody and her husband Emerson to Amarna, the rustic desert site where the two archaeologists first met, beginning the 13-year association that would take them from mayhem to murder in the Egyptian outback.įor the first time in many years, Ramses chooses not to accompany his parents on their yearly excavation. ![]()
