What was the inspiration for this book? I've always been fascinated by ancient Egypt. I was particularly intrigued by a woman named Dorothy Eady, a British woman who believed she was the reincarnation of an Egyptian priestess. That, combined with the fact that Nefertiti was such an important woman in Egyptian history, yet her tomb has never been found, inspired me to write this story of Verity.

1930s Egypt is a truly visceral place seen through the eyes of a curious and vulnerable child, where every sound and scent comes alive on the page. Loads of historical detail and artifact obsession adds tons of fun. Throughout, Wildsmith walks a delicate line between cinema and overly descriptive literature in her scene descriptions, ensuring that the pace is never slowed and yet every observation is palpable.

Book Review
Hattie Vavaseur is a deliciously supernatural mystery and love story best paired with a glass of a sherry, a crackling fire and a keen eye for secret messages hidden throughout. There is a richness in the descriptions of places and observations of people that hooks the reader.
