Daily Life in Ancient Egypt

“Szpakowska’s lively, well-crafted account not only gives a sense of the lives of the people behind the ancient texts and representations, but shows the reader how to construct a narrative which is both engaging and scholarly.”
–Deborah Sweeney, Tel Aviv University

“Kasia Szpakowska’s engaging, localized account of life during Egypt’s Middle Kingdom draws upon the material culture and inscriptions produced by the people of Lahun to produce a rich portrait that will interest general readers, students, and Egyptologists alike.”
–Ellen Morris, Columbia University
