“The Mirrored World explores the mysteries of love and grief and
devotion. Against a vivid backdrop of eighteenth century St. Petersburg
and Catherine the Great’s royal court, the woman who would become St.
Xenia is brought fully to life. Is there a more imaginative, elegant
storyteller than Debra Dean?”
Ann Hood, bestselling author of The Knitting Circle
The critically acclaimed author of The Madonnas of Leningrad (“Elegant and poetic, the rare kind of book that you want to keep but you have to share” —Isabel Allende), Debra Dean returns with The Mirrored World, a breathtaking novel of love and madness set in 18th century Russia. Transporting readers to St. Petersburg during the reign of Catherine the Great, Dean brilliantly reconstructs and reimagines the life of St. Xenia, one of Russia’s most revered and mysterious holy figures, in a richly told and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that recounts the unlikely transformation of a young girl, a child of privilege, into a saint beloved by the poor.
