Historical
Two women's lives collide when a priceless Russian artifact
comes to light. Tanya Kagan, a rising specialist in Russian art at a top New
York auction house, is trying to entice Russia's wealthy
oligarchs to bid on the biggest sale of her career, The
Order of Saint Catherine, while making sense of the sudden
and unexplained departure of her husband. As questions arise over the provenance of the Order and
auction fever kicks in, Reyn takes us into the world of
Catherine the Great, the infamous 18th-century empress who
may have owned the priceless artifact, and who it turns out
faced many of the same issues Tanya wrestles with in her own
life. Suspenseful and beautifully written, The Imperial
Wife asks whether we view female ambition any
differently today than we did in the past. Can a
contemporary marriage withstand an “Imperial Wife”?
