Description
The Life and Letters of Myrtle Broome. Lee Young has skilfully compiled, edited, and narrated a captivating selection of Myrtle Broome's letters home, written during her employment as an archaeological artist in Egypt of the 1920-1930s, just after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
Through Myrtle's intimate correspondence the reader is quickly drawn into her fascinating daily life, work, and adventures in the Egyptian desert.
Moreover, what shines through most in Myrtle's observations, seen from her English middle-class perspective, is her humanity and deep affection for the ordinary people of Egypt.
