This fall, journey from New York to Egypt and uncover the mystery and adventure within The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis—the 2025 One Book, One Village (OBOV) selection from the Arlington Heights Memorial Library.
Now in its 12th year, OBOV brings people together through the shared experience of reading the same book at the same time and connecting through related programming and book discussions.
Set in dual timelines—1936 Egypt and 1978 New York City—The Stolen Queen follows aspiring archaeologist Charlotte Cross, who joins a prestigious dig in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. After a devastating tragedy, Charlotte vows never to return. Decades later, Annie Jenkins begins working for fashion icon Diana Vreeland during preparations for the Met Gala. When a priceless Egyptian artifact disappears at the event, Annie becomes entangled in a mystery that leads her to Charlotte, now a reclusive curator at The Met. Together, they must confront the past and journey back to Egypt in search of answers.
Fiona Davis, a New York Times bestselling author known for historical fiction centered around New York City’s iconic landmarks, brings her signature blend of drama and heart to this unforgettable story of art, identity and legacy.
Explore the legacy of ancient Egypt through a diverse slate of programs spanning architecture, fashion, historical artifacts and more — each inspired by The Stolen Queen and designed to bring history to life.
