Description
Debra Dean's The Mirrored World is a richly told and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that recounts the unlikely transformation of a young girl into a saint beloved by the poor. Set in 18th century Russia, this novel brilliantly reconstructs the life of St. Xenia, one of Russia's most revered holy figures. In this breathtaking tale of love and madness, Dean transports readers to the courts and streets of St. Petersburg during the reign of Catherine the Great. A story of transformation and devotion, The Mirrored World is a beautifully written exploration of the human spirit. With elegant prose and a deep understanding of historical context, Debra Dean brings to life a fascinating and complex figure, reimagining her story for a modern audience.
