Behind A Mask or, A Woman's Power

By Louisa May Alcott

Quotes "Nothing is impossible to a determined woman." -- Louisa May Alcott ( Behind a Mask: The Unknown Thrillers of Louisa May Alcott ) In a house of wealth and whispers, she was the flame drawn to shadows--dangerous, beguiling, unforgettable. When the delicate and mysterious Jean Muir walks into the Coventry estate, she looks to be the ideal governess--modest, charming, and obedient. However, beneath her beautiful smile is a heart forged by betrayal and an intellect honed by desperation. For her, love is a weapon, and she is far from naive. As she casts her spell on the men of the household--young, elderly, and powerful--jealousy simmers, secrets reveal themselves, and desire darkens into obsession. Each planned gaze, each silky phrase leads them deeper into her trap. But, in the end, who is genuinely trapped? Behind a Mask, written by Louisa May Alcott under the pen name A.M. Barnard, is an epic tale of twisted sensuality and feminine power set against a wonderfully poetic Victorian environment.
