Inhaltsangabe

The Well: Two Women, Two Thousand Years Apart, Connected by a Pandemic, Slavery, and a Son is a story of memories and a record of the end of a magnificent era told by one who lived it: a spirit guide named Lukhamen.

As Lukhamen’s story unfolds, the author begins to see startling parallels between his life and events that are taking place in her own—grief, the spread of a deadly disease, existential struggles between divided forces, rising incidents of cruelty toward the dispossessed, and the shocking similarities between herself and an Egyptian woman named Alenna.

The story begins 200 years after the death of Christ. In Egypt, the city of Luxor is ruled by a series of cruel Roman governors. Their one goal: to feed the Roman army with wheat grown in the fertile Nile Valley. Nothing stands in the way of this mission, not even a terrifying outbreak of leprosy. No one is spared the grueling labor in the fields, not even Lukhamen, son of the High Priest of Amon. His father has disappeared after defying the Roman governor in a daring act of defiance. His mother, stripped of her home and possessions, has succumbed to dementia. He is unable to summon the ancient faith of his ancestors. The only light in his life is a Christian girl named Lucenkep.

But the high priest is not lost, nor has he forgotten his people, the children of the most glorious civilization known to man. They labor in the darkness of slavery, not remembering who they once were. But Lukhamen's father, the High Priest of Amon, is destined to help them remember.

The Well is a story glimpsed through a cosmic keyhole–a magnificent gift of evidence that love can rise above grief and outlast the phenomenon called death.
