<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Asked by her government to pose as a governess, Liberty Lane moves in with one of England's most powerful and influential families. What she discovers could rock the very foundations of the monarchy--and lead to the assassination of the newly crowned, 18-year-old Queen Victoria.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A remarkable debut novel rich in atmosphere, color, and suspense, Caro Peacock's <em>A Foreign Affair</em> is an irresistible blend of history, adventure, and ingenious invention that brings an extraordinary new writer--and a truly endearing and unforgettable heroine--to the literary stage.</p><p>The year is 1837. Queen Victoria, barely eighteen, has just ascended to the throne of England, and a young woman named Liberty Lane has just had her first taste of true sorrow. Refusing to accept that her gentle, peace-loving father has been killed fighting a duel, she vows to see justice done. . . . </p><p>The trail she follows is a twisting and dangerous one, leading the spirited young Englishwoman into an intricate weave of conspiracy. Contacted by secret agents, she is asked to pose as a governess in order to infiltrate cold, rambling Mandeville Hall and spy on its master, Sir Herbert Mandeville, who is at the center of a treasonous plan. </p><p>Nothing at the hall is what it seems, and every turn reveals another deceit, another surprise, another peril, leaving Libby to wonder who to trust and embroiling her in a deadly affair that could destroy the young queen and place Libby herself in mortal peril. . . . </p>
