Explanation Concering Books Through a Glass Darkly (Through a Glass Darkly #2)

Karleen Koen's sweeping saga contains unforgettable characters consumed with passion: the extraordinarily beautiful fifteen-year-old noblewoman, Barbara Alderley; the man she adores, the wickedly handsome Roger MontGeoffry; her grandmother, the duchess, who rules the family with cunning and wit; and her mother, the ineffably cruel, self-centered and licentious Diana. Like no other work, Through a Glass Darkly is infused with intrigue, sweetened by romance and awash in the black ink of betrayal.

Judge Containing Books Through a Glass Darkly (Through a Glass Darkly #2)

When I first read this, I was 13 and loved the huge secret surrounding Roger and the sex and all the twagedy and dwama. It was a solid 5 stars. Then I re-read it (or tried to, rather) about 15 years later and was bored out of my skull. Don't know what happened in the meantime, but it's one of those books that probably should have stayed on my shelf and let memories suffice. Even before I re-read this, I had never gotten around to read Now Face to Face, and after this disappointing experience,

I absolutely loved Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl, so much so that I've since read several more of her books and a few of Alison Weir's as well. And though I've enjoyed most of them, none have approached the unputdownable level of Boleyn Girl... that is until I came across Through a Glass Darkly. I knew this book had quite a devoted following and now that I've read it, I can understand why.Barbara Alderley is a young woman of noble heritage coming of age in 1700s Britain. We meet her

I loved the first two thirds of this book. Set in and around the English and French courts of 1715/16, its a real romp of a read with snobs, bitches, dandies, bawdiness, double dealings, betrayals, scandals, duels, crazy wigs and pots and pots of rouge. The story may centre around the marriage of 15 year old Barbara to the much older and wealthier Roger, but its her mother Diana, the beautiful, slutty, scheming daughter of the Duchess of Tamworth, whos the early scene stealer, as she screams,

More like 3.5 stars, even though it had excellent plotting and character development. (Having recently immersed myself in the The Life of Samuel Johnson,The Diary Of Samuel Pepys and Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, I can confirm that Koen got the spirit of the times just about right.) Well-researched, if maybe too heavy on the descriptions of clothes, houses and gardens.Unnecessarily pornographic.While Koen's major characters are anachronistically twenty-first century, she does a good job at

Upon closing this novel I knew, almost immediately, that it had set the bar for every other historical fiction piece I'd read from then on. I was a bit intimidated when I first purchased Through A Glass Darkly because of its size, however once I started reading it I knew I was going to enjoy myself and the length wouldn't be a problem.I found Koen's writing style in this book to be very much to my liking. She was descriptive without being overbearing and I felt like I could literally see

There's something absorbing and fascinating about this book that I can't put my finger on...I suppose I should discuss what I can! With lean yet vivid prose, Koen whisks the reader away to the 17th century with an expert hand--there's never any doubt about her skill or her knowledge base. The characters are intriguing as well, and I found myself wanting to delve more deeply into their hearts and minds. All except the protagonist, Barbara, that is, whom I found the least developed. Barbara was

When I was a child I spake as a child. I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I become a man I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to faceThrough a Glass Darkly is the second in a three book series set in Georgian England. Barbara is the granddaughter of the Duke and Duchess of Tamworth and she and her younger siblings were raised by their grandparents instead of their parents Kit and Diana Alderley. Kit is an exiled Jacobite involved
