Information

The first novel from internationally bestselling author, Marlena de Blasi, Amandine is a sweeping historical drama of love, loss and family. Betrayal and a double suicide are among the legacies bequeathed by an aristocratic Polish family to a frail baby girl, illegitimately born in 1931. Ostensibly to protect her young daughter from shame, but at least as much to vindicate her own unhealed anguish, the child's grandmother, the Countess Valeska, abandons the infant in a convent in the south of France, convincing her daughter of her baby's death.

'A classic, expertly wrought novel of love, loss, and tangled loyalties, Amandine is also a banquet of sumptuous imagery and delicious historical detail.' - Chandra Prasad, author of On Borrowed Wings.
