Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and to devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the ruler of Ferrara, Moderna and Regio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must now make her way in a troubled court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her new husband himself, Alfonso. Is he the playful sophisticate he appeared to be before their wedding, the aesthete happiest in the company of artists and musicians, or the ruthless politician before whom even his formidable sisters seem to tremble? As Lucrezia sits in constricting finery for a painting intended to preserve her image for centuries to come, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court's eyes, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferranese dynasty. Until then, for all of her rank and nobility, the new duchess's future hangs entirely in the balance.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6302694</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6302694</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Farrell, Maggie, 1972-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6302694109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593320624/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hand That First Held Mine]]></title><description><![CDATA[A spell-binding novel of two women connected across fifty years by art, love, betrayals, secrets, and motherhood.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C4412906</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C4412906</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Farrell, Maggie, 1972-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4412906109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780547330792/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hand That First Held Mine]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fifty years after a reporter of genteel origins becomes a single mother, London painter Elina navigates the first weeks of motherhood after surviving a dangerous labor and learns that her life is disconcertingly linked to the woman from the past.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C4729518</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C4729518</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Farrell, Maggie, 1972-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4729518109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780547487274/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[I Am, I Am, I Am]]></title><description><![CDATA[Presents a memoir told entirely in seventeen near-death experiences stemming from a dangerous childhood illness, accidents, an encounter with a disturbed person, and the author's daily efforts to protect her daughter from the vulnerabilities of a high-risk condition.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5621677</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5621677</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Farrell, Maggie, 1972-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5621677109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Seventeen Brushes With Death</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525520221/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[This Must Be the Place]]></title><description><![CDATA[Daniel Sullivan, a young American professor reeling from a failed marriage and a brutal custody battle, is on holiday in Ireland when he falls in love with Claudette, a world famous sexual icon and actress who fled fame for a reclusive life in a rural village.

A few hours later, Alice is lying in a coma after an accident that may or may not have been a suicide attempt. Alice's family gathers at her bedside and as they wait, argue, and remember, long-buried tensions emerge. The more they talk, the more they seem to conceal. Alice, meanwhile, slides between varying levels of consciousness, recalling her past and a love affair that recently ended.
