“The Mummy” meets “Death on the Nile” in Isabel Ibañez’s “What the River Knows,” a YA historical fantasy set in 19th-century Egypt. This novel follows Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera as she travels to Cairo to investigate her parents’ mysterious deaths, uncovering ancient magic, a dangerous archaeological world, and a rivals-to-lovers romance with her guardian’s assistant. The first book in the Secrets of the Nile duology, “What the River Knows” blends adventure, mystery, and romance with themes of colonialism and history.
Join us in Room 124 of Newberry Hall for an evening of community and conversation led by Ginny Miglierina, PhD candidate in the Interdepartmental Program in Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology. Light refreshments will be served. Register for this event at https://forms.gle/EVFGdoghuXUFeXoP9 by Thursday, March 12, 2026.
