INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO SET THE NOVELIN EGYPT? IT CAN’T HAVE BEEN EASY.
It wasn’t easy at all. But Egypt has always fascinated me, as has the idea of writing historical fiction. Combine the two and add a sprinkling of pyramids, mummies, a large spoonful of magic, twins that don’t always like each other very much, a ghostly cat, an evil villain, a perilous quest and an ancient mystery. I think they are ingredients that any writer would enjoy!

DID YOU KNOW MUCH ABOUT EGYPT BEFORE YOU STARTED?
Not much. But the idea came out of some research into my family. I discovered Egypt fascinated them. Maybe Egypt was in my genes. My great-great-grandparents, the Tyssen-Amhersts, had an important collection of Egyptian objects at Didlington Hall, which was their home in Norfolk. My great grandmother even ran her own excavations near Aswan in the winter of 1901/02.

WASN’T IT AN UNUSUAL THING FOR A WOMAN TO DO IN THOSE DAYS?
Yes. But it seems May was a pretty determined character, and she had some encouragement too. She knew Howard Carter, and at that time he was Inspector of Antiquities and he suggested she started digging.

WASN’T IT HOWARD CARTER WHO DISCOVERED KING TUTANKHAMUN’S TOMB?
Yes. But this was a long time before he found King Tut. In fact, May had known Howard Carter since he was a boy. He used to come to Didlington and spend time amongst the Egyptian collection while his father, Samuel Carter, drew the family pets. It was May’s parents who suggested that Howard should go to work for the Egypt Exploration Fund. It was because of them that Howard Carter ever went to Egypt at all.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TYSSEN-AMHERSTS WOULD THINK ABOUT NILE CAT?
I hope they would like the fact I have tried to make it as accurate as possible. I based the magic on the ancient Egyptians’ belief system. Magic was part of their lives. There was magic in every thought and every word, written or spoken. I think they would have enjoyed Miut’s world. I believe May, in particular, would have liked Rose. After all, it was May’s memoir of her time in Egypt when she was just fourteen, which really inspired me to write Nile Cat. I think there is a great deal of May in Rose.
