Ancient Times by Kevin Roache: “I’ll go to bed with a good papyrus tonight.”

From Amazon:
An everyday tale of a typical dysfunctional Egytian family living about 4,500 tears ago mirrors exactly the same trials and tribulations we face today.

From the Press Release:
Ancient Times has been described as an ancient situation comedy but without the annoying theme tune.

Carefully chosen by Pharaoh, a skillful village of artisans are given the task of bringing life to the last resting place of the man/god. Set in ancient Egypt circa 2500BC the novel highlights the humorous and poignant differences between an ancient society and their customs and a contemporary society. Love, sex, death, corruption, hedonistic lifestyles, debauchery, manic depression, extreme violence – but making sure no animals are harmed in the process – self-abuse, dogging and darts are features of everyday ancient life. It appears there are surprisingly few differences between then and now.

You can read the first five chapters of this 48 chapter novel at www.ancienttimestext.com.
