Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. EXTRAORDINARY: MASTERPIECE: SUMPTUOUS: PURE GOLD: NEW First Edition hardcover (Orig. September 2022) Fourth Printing (October 2022): WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION FINALIST: REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK: NYT BEST SELLER * 6.25" x 9.50" x 1.25", 0.66 kg, 340 pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, 3rd daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable w/ her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, & devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the ruler of Ferrara, Modena & Reggio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, & her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must now enter an unfamiliar court whose customs are opaque & where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her new husband himself, Alfonso. Is he the playful sophisticate he appeared to be before their wedding, the aesthete happiest in the company of artists & musicians, or the ruthless politician before whom even his formidable sisters seem to tremble? As Lucrezia sits in constricting finery for a painting intended to preserve her image for centuries to come, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court's eyes, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferranese dynasty. Until then, for all of her rank & nobility, the new duchess's future hangs entirely in the balance. Full of the beauty & emotion w/ which she illuminated the Shakespearean canvas of "Hamnet", Maggie OFarrell turns her talents to Renaissance Italy in an EXTRAORDINARY portrait of a resilient young woman's battle for her very survival. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "O'Farrell pulls out little threads of historical detail to weave this story of a precocious girl sensitive to the contradictions of her station. You may know the history, & you may think you know what's coming, but don't be so sure.O'Farrell & Lucrezia, w/ her 'crystalline, righteous anger,' will always be one step ahead of you. . . . O'Farrell is one of the most exciting novelists alive." -The Washington Post "[O'Farrell] has spun PURE GOLD out of this tragic history." -Minneapolis Sta-Tribune "captivating. O'Farrell's latest MASTERPIECE presents a SUMPTUOUS portrait of a woman's purposeful determination to break the bars of her gilded cage." -The Christian Science Monitor * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
