A Novel

The author of Hamnet--New York Times best seller and National Book Critics Circle Award winner--brings the world of Renaissance Italy to jewel-bright life in this unforgettable fictional portrait of the captivating young duchess Lucrezia de' Medici as she makes her way in a troubled court.

Florence, the 1550s. 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 devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the ruler of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio, 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 enter an unfamiliar 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.
 
Full of the beauty and emotion with which she illuminated the Shakespearean canvas of Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell turns her talents to Renaissance Italy in an extraordinary portrait of a resilient young woman's battle for her very survival.

A Complete Guide for Developing Yourself and Your Gift, Exploring Manipulation, Emotional Intelligence, and Narcissism. Can Everything Be Connected?

★★If you like to know more about empathetic people, then read on★★ Empaths are very frequently portrayed as borderline magical beings - and in many ways, they are. However, if you are an empath, you might have a difficult time understanding yourself and your true nature, as well as the fact that you too can be just as dual-sided as everyone else. This is mainly due to a vast array of literature that portrays empaths as angelic figures with super-powers similar to those of a made-up character, rather than real human beings with very real aches and pains. If you are tired of mystified definitions and books that don't say much in terms of what empaths should do to be happier and healthier, your search stops here. If you want to learn an objective way to look at empathy (and its antagonist, narcissism), Empaths is the book you have been waiting for. If you want to learn how to be happier with who you are, you have in your hands the pages detailing this process. In Empaths, you will learn: What an empath is. Are you one, and if so, how much? The pitfalls and why it's essential to control the darker side. Why empaths and narcissists are always connected. Are empaths all good? Are narcissists all bad? What an empath can do to protect themselves and their emotions. How to set boundaries as an empath. What is EQ? The link between EQ, empaths, and narcissists. Download now, and allow yourself to be happy. You are a truly unique being just the way you are, and you deserve nothing but the best that life has to offer. This book is your head-start to finding peace as an empath!

You will also experience the subplots that run throughout the Bible and gain a deeper appreciation of God’s Word and his immeasurable love for you. There is a place for you in God’s story.
