 breathtaking saga, an epic story of love, faith, and defiance from the bes
 tselling author of Sam “A shocking story, made all the more stunning by 
 the fact that it has its roots in true history.”—Jodi Picoult, author 
 of By Any Other Name “What a gift this novel is: vast, lush, feminist, a
 nd brilliantly crafted. Allegra Goodman is one of our finest writers.”�

 ore needed. Inspired by the real life of a sixteenth-century heroine,  Is
