Just finished the first book in Stranger in the Valley of the Kings. It's really an amazing story. I've known the story of Joseph as told in the St James version of the Bible since I was a kid. It always just seemed like a story but a book like this brings home a different reality of Joseph. At times, it is a difficult read. Sometimes history gets really complicated and Osman covers a lot of ground in a relatively short book. One thing that really surprises me is that Osman's interpretation suggests Joseph may have still been alive when Moses was born. That's a pretty significant re-write of history.
