Hitting bookstores everywhere December 28th 2010
"As heiress to the famous Laurent Fashion Dolls business, Marguerite Ashby's future seems secure. But France still seethes with violence in the wake of the Revolution. And when Marguerite's husband is killed during a riot, the young widow travels to Edinburgh and becomes apprentice to her old friend, Marie Tussaud, who has established a wax exhibition. When Prime Minister William Pitt commissions a wax figure of Admiral Nelson, Marguerite becomes immersed in a dangerous adventure - and earns the admiration of two very different men. And as Britain battles to overthrow Napoleon, Marguerite will find her loyalties under fire from all sides. With a masterful eye for details, Christine Trent brings one of history's most fascinating eras to life in of a story of desire, ambition, treachery, and courage".

This blog is fantastic. And I love the name! Kudos.
ReplyDeleteThis book appeals to me greatly. I was in Edinburgh in Sept. and Madame Tussaud's in London is the very BEST wax museum I've ever visited. What an interesting tale this must be! I'm an anglophile and I want to read this. If I don't win LIKENESS I will definitely buy it. It would be a great Xmas gift, non?
I'm a new follower and look forward to visiting often. I follow under the name, Mel. Thanks!
