Akhenaten Dorothy Porter 1992

Dustjacket synopsis:
"From the award-winning creator of the international bestseller The Monkey's Mask ('Banjo' winner and Age Book of the Year) comes an extraordinary work of the imagination.

"Crete is a heady mix of dark humor, archaeology, breathtaking eroticism, risk-taking and effortless economy. It is a book by a writer at the peak of her highly original powers."
