Customer Review: This Book Changed My Life
This is the book that literally changed my life. Not that it is more profound than others, but I read it at age 12, and from that moment on became intensely interested in ancient Egypt. Now, as a woman with a PhD in Egyptology from the Oriental Institute of Chicago, I can still pick up "Cat In The Mirror" and fondly read it for it's captivating story and well-drawn characters. I identified heavily with Erin/Irun during my less-than-ideal experience in junior high. Her painful social ineptitude and outcast status resonated deeply with me. But the descriptions of life in ancient Egypt were what truly captivated me. While never losing the import and thread of the plot, Stolz manages to paint an incredibly realistic and beautiful vision of ancient Egyptian home life among the nobility. Not to mention that the whole book also revolves around cats, which I love also! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read. Especially so to those junior high girls struggling with acceptance and awkwardness; the book offers hope in individuality, a light at the end of the junior high tunnel. For anyone else, it is still an excellent read. Try it!
Customer Review: A favorite of mine
The story reloves around two girls, one in modern day America and one in ancient Egypt. Their stories come together over visions in a mirror. Are these girls one and the same?
