من اصلن داستانپردازی خاصی نمیبینم!
قبول دارم که تو چنین کتاب کوچیکی نمیشه خیلی جریان آفرید، ولی حداقل برای من جالب نبود.
حدس میزنم این هم بهخاطر تفاوت فرهنگ باشه مه چنین چیزایی هیچ جذابیتی برای من نداره.
ولی باز شخصیتها رو دوست داشتم، یا بهتر بگم، چینش تیپها جالب بود.

This is a fantastic quick read of historical fiction based on real events during Ancient Egypt, when farmers that were required to work for the Pharaoh building a pyramid during Akhet. The time when the river roes and flooded the surrounding fields.

I listened to this on audiobook.
This story centres around the pyramid builders of ancient Egypt and weaves in aspects such as accidents, hardship, and religious beliefs behind why some were built. The end notes mentions strikes occurring amongst the workers.
