Just some brief notes here, especially since nobody's really talked about this book on Goodreads yet. I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
"The Mirrored World" tells the story of Xenia, a Russian Orthodox saint renowned for her charity to the poor. The story is told from the perspective of her cousin Dasha and recounts their entry into Petersburg society. Xenia falls in love and marries, but when a tragedy strikes she begins to descend into madness. The historical detail in this novel is wonderful, highlighting the excesses of the court while telling the story of a saint.
Highly recommended.
