1987

by Karleen Koen

One of the most beloved historical fiction novels of all time! Through A Glass Darkly sparkles with all of the extravagance and scandal of a grand and glorious era. As opulent and passionate as the 18th century it celebrates.

Barbara Alderly has loved her husband, the wealthy, charming Earl of Devane, Roger Montgeoffry, since childhood. Set against a French court awash in intrigue, treachery, and debauchery, Barbara must learn to navigate the dark currents of deception, scandal, and betrayal.

Peopled by a cast of unforgettable characters, here is the story of a great family ruled by a dowager of extraordinary power; a young woman coming of age, seeking love in the midst of a storm; her mother, the cruel and self-centered Diana; and of a man haunted by a secret that could turn all of their dreams to ashes...

Through a Glass Darkly is infused with intrigue, sweetened by romance, and awash in the black ink of betrayal. A sprawling escape into 18th century English nobility and one heck of an engaging romantic drama.
