After a violent coup in the United States overthrows the Constitution and ushers in a new government regime, the Republic of Gilead imposes subservient roles on all women. Offred, now a Handmaid tasked with the singular role of procreation in the childless household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife, can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost everything, even her own name.

Wait! It Mightn't Be What You Think--

great book, too many feelings for my taste
Revisado: 05-29-19
it's a great book, with a fascinating and plausible story. my only quibble is that it has too many feelings for my taste. That's just my personal preference, I suspect most people won't mind.

Great book, not repetitive just thorough
Revisado: 06-15-15
Fascinating topic and narrator does a great job. Some people might find it dry or repetitive, but I think it was just thorough.

The second daughter of the Pharaoh, Ahmose has always dreamed of a quiet life as a priestess, serving Egypt's gods, ministering to the people of the Two Lands. But when the Pharaoh dies without an heir, she is given instead as Great Royal Wife to the new king - a soldier of common birth. For Ahmose is god-chosen, gifted with the ability to read dreams, and it is her connection to the gods which ensures the new Pharaoh his right to rule.

Great book - really get a feel for ancient egypt
Revisado: 04-10-15
Would you consider the audio edition of The Sekhmet Bed to be better than the print version?
I didn't read the printer version so I can't be sure.
What did you like best about this story?
It really makes you feel like you're in ancient Egypt.
Have you listened to any of Amanda C. Miller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, this is my first, but the narrator did a great job.
Who was the most memorable character of The Sekhmet Bed and why?
Ahmose, she had the most 'screen-time'.
Any additional comments?
My only complaint was that I feel like it had a slight leaning towards a female perspective. There was more focus on motherhood and the protagonist's rival sister that I (a male reader) was especially interested in. However that did not detract enough from the book to result in my dissatisfaction of the whole.I love historical fiction, I've read most of the work by Conn Iggulden and James Clavell, as well as some by Bernard Cornwell, Robert Fabbri, Jane Auel and Ken Follett. I am not educated in Egyptian history, so I cannot judge the actual accuracy of Ironside's details (though they all seem legit as far as I can tell). However I can say she did as good a job of making the reader truly experience the historical setting as any of the those authors did. The story itself was also great, and the writing itself was too.

Dug Sealskinner is a down-on-his-luck mercenary traveling south to join up with King Zadar's army. But he keeps rescuing the wrong people. First Spring, a child he finds scavenging on the battlefield, and then Lowa, one of Zadar's most fearsome warriors, who has vowed revenge on the king for her sister's execution. Now Dug's on the wrong side of the thousands-strong army he hoped to join - and worse, Zadar has bloodthirsty druid magic on his side.

Read more like a fantasy than history
Revisado: 02-20-15
Loved it. I had a pediment with the magic stuff at first but when I adjusted my mind set to think of it like a fantasy novel I loved it. Sean Barret did an amazing job as an author. I loved Angus Watson's writing, if felt like somewhere between Joe Abercrombie and Brent Weeks but with a lot more realistic setting.
