The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis is a captivating historical fiction novel that intertwines the allure of ancient Egypt with the glamour of 1970s New York City. The narrative unfolds across two timelines: one in 1936 Egypt and another in 1978 Manhattan. In 1936, Charlotte Cross, a young American archaeologist, embarks on a dig in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. There, she uncovers a tomb that may belong to the elusive female pharaoh Hathorkare, challenging the male-dominated field of Egyptology. Tragedy strikes, and Charlotte vows never to return to Egypt. Fast forward to 1978, Charlotte is now an associate curator at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Annie, an ambitious young woman, lands a job assisting Diana Vreeland with the Met Gala. During the event, a priceless Egyptian artifact known as the Cerulean Queen is stolen, and Annie is implicated. Charlotte, recognizing the artifact as one she thought lost, is drawn into a quest to uncover its origins and clear Annie's name.
