false 5925505 1 When Ange St Loup is brought unconscious to the madhouse of the Amaranth, she is outlandishly dressed, covered with scorches from the building she burned and bruises from jumping out one of its windows, and her mouth is sewn shut. And that is all she knows. Even as her memory returns to her, and she begins to piece together the puzzle of her life as an actress in the theatre Lady Minerva, every answer only raises further questions, and at the heart of them remain the ones she has no answers for. Answers that might explain what she was doing in an alley, by night, outside a burning building, with her face mutilated and her mind in tatters. Which version of the story is the truth? Is it Ange's own, despite the amnesia that only gives back her past in fragments? Is it the madhouse warders', which paints Ange as a murderer, or the prioress's, which paints her as insane? Is it the one that returns to Ange piecemeal, over time, growing only more sinister as it inches toward completion? Or is the truth something more complex, more dangerous, than anything that Ange can even grasp? 6097926 1 12 2008 Desideria total:5|5:4|3:1| 5 23 17 1 5 0 false false Fri Jul 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 16:45:14 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 20:20:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 15:23:08 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 15:23:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 19 17:16:23 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 17:16:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 18:18:14 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 18:18:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 29 21:11:23 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 21:11:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 10:34:11 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 10:34:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 07:55:09 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 07:55:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 18:31:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 18:31:39 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jun 07 19:03:16 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 19:03:16 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu May 28 05:42:24 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 06:05:06 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 28 09:07:42 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 09:07:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 19 13:02:35 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 13:02:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 10:03:33 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 12:42:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 13:08:10 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 13:08:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 02 07:46:08 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 07:46:08 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Dec 09 12:18:27 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 12:18:42 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Nov 25 06:01:17 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 10 01:32:51 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5925505
