The book this week is Ramses: Under the Western Acacia by Christian Jacq. It's the fifth and final book in the Ramses series. I liked the series but it isn't what I would call historically accurate. It has a lot of fantasy to it. And some people might not like the fact that Moses does not come off well. But it is a story, not history, so....

The sentence:

In the fortresses of his home country, he had learned to give the opposite sex what they deserved.

Good for him, and apparently her too.
