PRAISE FOR LIFE MASK
”Mesmerizing. With the French Revolution raging in the
background, Donoghue has lighted on another terrific story, and she
pulls off a dazzling feat of choreography.”–Julia Livshin, The
Washington Post Book World
”Few will be able to put it down before its enthralling tales
end.”–Chicago Tribune
The bestselling author of Slammerkin vividly brings to life
the Beau Monde of late eighteenth-century England, turning the
private drama of three celebrated Londoners into a robust,
full-bodied portrait of a world on the brink of revolution. In a
time of looming war, of glittering spectacle and financial
disasters, the wealthy liberals of the Whig Party work to topple a
tyrannical prime minister and a lunatic king. Marriages and
friendships stretch or break; political liaisons prove as dangerous
as erotic ones; and everyone wears a mask. Will Eliza Farren,
England’s leading comedic actress, gain entry to that elite circle
that calls itself the World? Can Lord Derby, the inventor of the
horse race that bears his name, endure public mockery of his long,
unconsummated courtship of the actress? Will Anne Damer, a sculptor
and rumored Sapphist, be the cause of Eliza’s fall from
grace?
This is a remakable novel in the tradition of the very best
historical fiction.
