Behind the Mask, or The Power of a Woman

Jean Muir takes a job as a governess in the luxurious Coventry House and instantly charms its aristocratic inhabitants. She educates her young charge, serves evening tea to the whole family, and delights their ears with singing. But what she truly desires is something entirely different. Gathering elegant bouquets and reading historical books aloud, Jean Muir only throws dust in the eyes of the Coventry House owners

while secretly preparing and executing a cunning and ambitious plan.

The story of a young woman's rise up the social ladder in Victorian England, told by the author of "Little Women", opens the joint series of translations by Bookmate and "Subscribed Editions".
