From Booklist
Drawing on letters, artifacts, and hieroglyphic inscriptions, Andreu provides a vivid slice of everyday life in ancient Egypt. After a brief historical summary of the dynastic era (2700^-1750 B.C.E.), the author concentrates on re-creating the daily lives and tasks of a host of Egyptians from a variety of backgrounds and social classes. Laborers, farmers, scholars, and artisans are all represented in an informative and evocative sociological survey. In addition, religious, political, and cultural activities and traditions are also outlined. An engaging introduction to the manner in which ordinary routines and sacred customs were practiced during one of ancient Egypt's golden ages.

Midwest Book Review
Perfect for any study of Egypt is this focus on ancient Egyptian daily life, which uses archaeological evidence to reconstruct Egyptian life styles between 2650 and 1750 B. C. Hieroglyphic inscriptions and tomb paintings serve as the foundation for Andreu's account: her background as an Egyptologist at the Louvre Museum and her academic credentials add authority to her study.
