In the Shadow of the Nile

This is by far Hylton's best novel to date. The story grips you even after you finish the novel. The story is very believeable and you feel the struggles of the characters and you cannot easily dimiss them from your mind upon finishing the novel. Hylton manipulates your emotions so that even though you are aware of the impossibility of the heroine's predicament, you are still rooting for her to get what she wants so that she will become happy. Even years after first reading this novel you are still emotionally moved by these characters, and even though you vow never to subject yourself to the heartache you cannot help your self. In short: A Compelling Story
