HTML:<p><strong>THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!</strong></p> <p><strong>"A sprawling escape into 18th century English nobility and one heck of an engaging romantic drama."—Newsweek</strong></p> <p><strong>One of the most beloved historical fiction novels of all time, Through a Glass Darkly presents a breathtaking, lush story of a young noblewoman as she explores the intriguing world of the noble class while building her life with the man she loves.</strong></p> <p>Karleen Koen's sweeping saga introduces unforgettable characters consumed with passion: the extraordinarily beautiful fifteen-year-old noblewoman, Barbara Alderley; the man she adores, the wickedly handsome Roger MontGeoffry; her grandmother, the duchess, who rules the family with cunning and wit; and her mother, the ineffably cruel, self-centered and licentious Diana.</p> <p>Although her own romantic fairy tale seems to be coming true, Barbara has a lot to learn about the machinations of the royal courts, financial chaos, and surviving with her reputation intact. Like no other work, Through a Glass Darkly is infused with intrigue, sweetened by romance and awash in the black ink of betrayal.</p><strong>Full of elements that fans of Susanna Kearsley, Diana Gabaldon, and Phillipa Gregory will love:</strong> <ul> <li>A rich, beautiful world you can escape to</li> <li>Characters with strong hearts and extraordinary depth</li> <li>Sumptuous, stunning historical detail</li> <li>Romance to sweep you up and carry you away</li> </ul> <p><strong>Praise for Through a Glass Darkly:</strong><br /> "[A] lavish, carefully researched portrait of a young woman's turbulent coming of age in 18th-century England and France."—People<br /> "Fast-paced and fun to read!"—Glamour<br /> "A brilliant historical novel, a lovely romance, a gripping character study—there's something for everyone."—Richmond Times-Dispatch</p>.
