“Can a woman have both a fulfilling career and a storybook
family life?…If you want to see the dilemma smartly dramatized in
the experience of an appealing, intelligent heroine, read Rachel
Pastan’s crisp novel, Lady of the Snakes.” (Entertainment
Weekly )”Pastan’s writing is fluid and frank, and her
characters are luminescent.” (The Washington Post )”Pastan
has an assured, deft and lovely voice… Pastan admirable tackles
the challenge of writing in both contemporary voices and the voices
of two 19th-century Russians.” (The Philadelphia Enquirer
)
Jane Levitsky is a bright light in the field of
nineteenth-century Russian literature, making her name as an expert
on the novels of Grigory Karkov and the diaries of his wife, the
long-suffering Masha Karkova. Jane is also wife to sweet,
reasonable Billy and mother to lovable (if demanding) Maisie, roles
she’s finding surprisingly challenging to juggle along with her
ambitions. But when Jane uncovers evidence that Masha may have been
more than muse and help meet to her famous husband, she seizes her
ticket to academic superstardom. Little does she know that she has
set in motion a chain of events that will come perilously close to
unraveling both her marriage and her career. Lady of the Snakes
will be instantly familiar–and instantly unforgettable–to any
woman who has ever aspired to have it all.
