Un avamposto occidentale dei Caraibi che aveva poco a che vedere con New York e Los Angeles, e molto da spartire con Caracas e Bogotá. Miami era una chimera tropicale, ricca di pettegolezzi e povera di memoria.

The seventh of Joan Grant's Far Memory novels, So Moses Was Born, is set in Egypt, in the time just before the birth of Moses.

Joan Grant enlarges the picture by depicting the events that led up to the discovery of the baby Moses, convincingly portraying the man she believed was his father, Ramoses II, through the words of his reclusive half-brother Nebunefer.
