On this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author Marie Benedict to talk about her sweeping new novel, Daughter of Egypt. Marie shares her deep love of history and her passion for uncovering the hidden stories of remarkable women whose contributions have long been overlooked. We dive into the fascinating research behind the book, including the Egyptology expert she collaborated with while bringing this story to life. We also talk about the novel’s compelling dual timeline, the real historical inspiration behind the story, and how the talented audiobook narrators helped make these women and their journeys feel so vivid and alive. It’s a rich and fascinating conversation about storytelling, history, and the power of giving forgotten women their rightful place in the spotlight.
