«Les enfants du soleil» is the historical novel by Pauline Gedge in hardcover edition (453 pages, in French).
In eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, Pharaoh Akhenaten imposes exclusive worship of the sun god Aten, supported by Nefertiti. His religious reforms cause tensions at court and weaken the empire, while his mother, Tiy, tries to sustain the royal family. The novel combines love, ambition and political intrigue in a recreation of ancient Egypt.
The English original, «The Twelfth Transforming», was published in 1984; the French translation is by Anne Laflaquière and the edition described is from 1986.
An option for readers of historical fiction interested in ancient Egypt and the figure of Akhenaten.
