| In November 1922, Lady Eve, the twenty-one-year-old daughter of the Earl of Carnarvon, embarks on an extraordinary journey from her opulent home of Highclere Castle to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Alongside her father and his hired archaeologist, Howard Carter, Eve experiences a breathtaking moment when she glimpses the lavish treasures of King Tutankhamun through a peephole in the inner doorway of an ancient, underground tomb. Amidst the excitement of her adventure, Eve finds herself drawn to the brilliant yet temperamental Carter. But as news of the treasures spreads, the trio faces challenges from peasant laborers, Egyptian nationalists, and combative reporters. When tragedy strikes, Eve becomes embroiled in a dramatic struggle to secure her familyâ s claim to the newfound riches, all while navigating her conflicting feelings for Carter and a suitor from her own social class. To Chase the Glowing Hours is a poignant coming-of-age tale that follows Eveâ s journey from a sheltered girl to a resilient young woman. This richly-woven narrative explores themes of love, greed, loss, privilege, and self-discovery, set against the alluring and glamorous backdrops of Egypt and England |
