This was a fascinating view of the life of Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, and her work in Egyptology. When many others were focusing on “proper” rules of the day, Christiane defied convention and went after her dreams.
I enjoyed the book immensely, and for those who enjoy history - and Egyptian history, this is one book that will appeal to you!
There are a few tangents to write about other women involved in the topics but other than that it's well written and provides plenty of detail to give one a sense of the dedication and passion of the primary subject.
