What the River Knows
What the River Knows
Isabel Ibañez
Set in Egypt in 1884, What the River Knows follows nineteen-year-old Inez Olivera, a young woman from a wealthy Argentine family whose life changes after the mysterious deaths of her parents. Determined to discover what happened to them, Inez travels to Egypt, where she encounters political intrigue, dangerous secrets, and a world far removed from the privileged life she has known. Her investigation brings her into conflict with Whitford Hayes, an Englishman working for her uncle, whose guarded behaviour makes it difficult to determine whether he is an ally or an adversary. As Inez uncovers clues about her parents’ past, she becomes entangled in a mystery involving ancient Egyptian history and dangerous magic. Blending historical fantasy, romance, and suspense, the novel explores independence, trust, and the risks of pursuing the truth.
