Pressezitat
Early praise for the The Earl and the Pharaoh 'The story of their quest for the tomb of an obscure pharaoh is familiar but still exciting, and the countess tells it well, conjuring up the fights, the frustrations, the times when Carnarvon came close to cutting his losses and giving up, and the moment in November 1922 when Carter held his candle up to a hole in the wall of Tutankhamun's tomb and in answer to Carnarvon's question, "Can you see anything?" answered, "Yes, wonderful things"... Carnarvon's life makes a good story, with plenty of Downton-esque period details' Daily Telegraph
