We are delighted to be welcoming RachelLouise Driscoll along to the shop on the evening of Thursday 13th February at 7pm as we celebrate the publication of her dazzling tale of adventure and obsession set beneath a blazing Egyptian sun, Nephthys. Sister. Rival. Protector. The spellbinding story of a forgotten daughter and a forgotten goddess. Quiet and reserved, Clemmie is happy in the background. Although her parents may overlook her talents, her ability to read hieroglyphs makes her invaluable at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society. But at one such party, the words Clemmie interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The beautiful and dangerous glyphs she holds in her hands will change her life forever. Five years later, Clemmie arrives in Egypt on a mission to save what remains of her family. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, has taken on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys' story that she can undo the mistakes of the past. On her journey up the Nile she will meet unexpected allies and enemies and, along with long-buried secrets and betrayals, Clemmie will be forced to step into the light. Rachel Louise Driscoll won the Curtis Brown Creative scholarship in 2020. Originally from the South West, she lives in the North East with her husband and cat, Cleopatra. Nephthys is her debut novel. She was inspired to write Clemmie's story by an experience she had at a local museum as a child where she was allowed to hold a mummified ancient Egyptian cat. Enjoying the hours of avid research required, Rachel even wrote some of the book wearing a corset in order to capture Clemmie’s experience more accurately! - Doors: 6.30pm, event starts: 7pm, please arrive early to secure a good seat.

Edinburgh Castle is really beautiful, mainly because the weather is great. It takes two to three hours to walk down in a circle, if you go faster, you can go faster. After entering, you can change the paper ticket with the voucher number provided by Trip.com , you can rent a guide for 3.5 pounds, and you can listen to the corresponding number of the attraction.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

💎月亮宝石环游世界🌎

It&#39;s really not one of the most romantic sunsets. I&#39;ve been here, cold shock but beautiful shock! Multiple celebrity business cards will not be repeated one by one. But my only deepest experience is the lyric, &quot;The castle is keeping secrets for love, and I am keeping memories for you&quot; I didn&#39;t think the song was romantic until I climbed to the top of Carlton ⛰️ It was really speechless and beautiful! ! I really like this light blue gentle dusk ～～ Thanks for a little embers near sunset that day, let me see the light blue light orange sky boundary in the distance, really the ultimate romance ～～ constantly touching me ✨💕🌹 recommend this ultimate romantic, must go? [View] Medieval dusk 🌆, the only ❤️ in the world
