Crocodile on the Sandbank
Files
Description
Crocodile on the Sandbank is the first book in the Amelia Peabody series. Published in 1975, it introduces a Amelia, a suffragist and Egyptologist protagonist living in the Victorian era. For Amelia and future generations, romance is only a part of the story; intelligence and character are just as attractive as physical attributes. Clearly, author Elizabeth Peters, who herself earned a doctorate in Egyptology at the University of Chicago, believed female protagonists didn't need to be waiting for rescue.
