The critically acclaimed author of The Madonnas of Leningrad (“Elegant and poetic, the rare kind of book that you want to keep but you have to share” —Isabel Allende), Debra Dean returns with The Mirrored World, a breathtaking novel of love and madness set in 18th century Russia. Transporting readers to St. Petersburg during the reign of Catherine the Great, Dean brilliantly reconstructs and reimagines the life of St. Xenia, one of Russia’s most revered and mysterious holy figures, in a richly told and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that recounts the unlikely transformation of a young girl, a child of privilege, into a saint beloved by the poor.
EDITORIAL :
“In her excellent second novel, THE MIRRORED WORLD, Debra Dean has composed a resonant and compelling tale. Dean’s writing is superb; she uses imagery natural to the story and an earlier time.” (Seattle Times)
“For those familiar with the story of St. Xenia, this is a gratifying take on a compelling woman. For others, Dean’s vivid prose and deft pacing make for a quick and entertaining read.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Love affairs, rivalries, intrigues, prophecy, cross-dressing, madness, sorrow, poverty—THE MIRRORED WORLD is a litany of both the homely and the miraculous. Intimate and richly appointed, Debra Dean’s Imperial St. Petersburg is as sumptuous and enchanted as the Winter Palace.” (Stewart O’Nan, bestselling author of Last Night at the Lobster)

I remember some of these stories when I was a kid in the 1930s. Many companies in the process of Lean Manufacturing implementation will find an easy tool in this book.. The first of these being nice large clear examples - pictures. I feel grateful for this book right now.. If I don't have time for a more extensive time with God during the day it's O.K. I just received this book. I find past life regression to be fascinating, but especially when people can put the pieces tog
