December: Queen's Game by Katherine McGee

Synopsis:

In the last glittering decade of empires, courts, and kings, three young women are on a collision course with history- and with each other.

Alix of Hesse is Queen Victoria's favorite granddaughter, so she can expect to end up with a prince...except that the prince she's falling for is not the one she's supposed to marry. Hélène D'Orléans, daughter of the exiled King of France, doesn't mind being a former princess; it gives her more opportnity to break the rules- like running around with the handsome, charming, and very much off-limits Prince Eddy. Then there's May of Teck. After spending her entire life on the fringes of the royal world, May is determined to marry a prince- and not just any prince, but the future king.

In a story that sweeps from the glittering ballrooms of St. Petersburg to the wilds of Scotland, A Queen's Game recounts a pivotal moment in history as only Katharine McGee can tell it: through the eyes of the young women whose lives, and loves, changed it forever.

All abilities are welcome at the library. If you or your child need special accommodations in order to participate in this program, please contact us in advance.
