I read a book by Barbara Erskine many years ago, Lady Of Hay. I really enjoyed the book, especially with the subject being about reincarnation.

What books have you read and would recommend for others to read?

There's several of Barbara Erskine books written in the same vein and I have enjoyed them all. Its great the way she writes in the present and takes you back to the past! :D

I've read a few of her books - wasn't the Lady of Hay in a series - took me ages to get my hands on them - but have now donated them all on.
Woo Hoo!!!!! I've got a signature!

[face=Comic Sans MS]I read Whispers In the Sand just before my first visit to Luxor. It was wonderful lazing on the cruise down the Nile and picturing the scenes from the book. I've never looked at perfume bottles the same way since either.[/face]

Hey me too Hepzi. In fact my perfume I took with me was Sun, Moon and Stars and my friend kept thinking of my perfume bottle when she read the book, especially as we had some funny happenings on our trip.

Everyone living or visiting here shoul read Khul Khaal, can't remember the author. An American/Egyptian woman interviewed 5 Egyptian women aboout their lives and customs, they were mostly poor river/rural folk with to us some very strange ideas and traditions. It's quite revealing. I've seen a copy in the bookstore in Zabargad? Mall on El Hadaba Rd. Midaq Alley by Naguib Mahfouz is in my opinion his best, a concise picture of Cairo life. Published by American University Press, and in Zabargad Mall too. Store opens at 6pm

[face=Comic Sans MS]It got from my 'to read list' to my 'to read pile' and I am pleased to say that I am now reading it. The forward could be a bit off putting to some as it's abnormally long, but reading about the lives of the individual women is very interesting. :) [/face]
