In this historical novel by the author of Green Darkness, Theodosia’s romantic life is controlled by her domineering father, the infamous Aaron Burr.

Anya Seton’s best-selling first novel, originally published in 1941, captures all the drama of the short life of Theodosia Burr (1783–1813). Her father, Aaron—Thomas Jefferson’s vice president, most famous for his great duel with Alexander Hamilton—holds sway over young Theodosia’s heart. But his arrogance forces her to choose between the man he insists she marry and her love for a young soldier who will turn out to play a decisive role in her father’s fate. Persuaded by Aaron that through his treasonable plans she will soon be crowned princess of the Kingdom of Mexico, she is received like royalty on Blennerhassett Island, only to end up trying to exonerate her father as he awaits trial in a Richmond jail, repudiated by his fickle son-in-law and friends.

Theodosia remains a haunting figure in American history, still lovely, still imperious, never vanquished.

Colonial America holds friendship, hardship, and love for a bold woman in this classic historical romance from the bestselling author of Green Darkness.

In 1631 Elizabeth Winthrop, newly widowed with an infant daughter, set sail for the New World. Against a background of rigidity and conformity she dared to befriend Anne Hutchinson at the moment of her banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony; dared to challenge a determined army captain bent on the massacre of her friends the Siwanoy Indians; and, above all, dared to love a man as her heart and her whole being commanded. And so, as a response to this almost unmatched courage and vitality, Governor John Winthrop came to refer to this woman in the historical records of the time as his “unregenerate niece.”

Anya Seton’s riveting historical novel portrays the fortitude, humiliation, and ultimate triumph of the Winthrop woman, who believed in a concept of happiness transcending that of her own day.

“The Winthrop Woman is that rare literary accomplishment—living history. Really good fictionalized history [like this] often gives closer reality to a period than do factual records.”—Chicago Tribune

“A rich and panoramic narrative full of gusto, sentimentality and compassion. It is bound to give much enjoyment and a good many thrills.”—Times Literary Supplement (UK)

A 1960s guru sends a troubled American woman back over 400 years into a past life to save her marriage in this classic New York Times–bestselling romance.

Strange things are afoot after English aristocrat Richard Marsdon takes his new wife Celia, an American heiress, to his family home in Sussex. Richard acts out of character, and Celia is suffering a debilitating emotional breakdown.

A friend of Celia’s mother, a wise, Hindu mystic, realizes the couple is haunted by an event from their past lives, and the only way to repair the damage is to send Celia back in time. She journeys back almost four hundred years to the reign of Edward VI and her former life as the servant girl Celia de Bohun—and her doomed love affair with the chaplain Stephen Marsdon. Although Celia and Stephen can’t escape the horrifying consequences of their love, fate—and time—offer them another chance for redemption.

“Elegantly mannered and exhaustively researched, the writing of Anya Seton has captivated readers for decades.”—The Austin Chronicle

El libro de Anya Seton que inspiró la obra maestra del cine de Joseph L. Mankiewicz. La historia de una mujer notable y el misterio y el suspense que la esperan en los magníficos pasillos de Dragonwyck.Miranda Wells tiene dieciocho años y es la hija de un granjero en la América profunda. Está harta de batir mantequilla, de quitar las malas hierbas del jardín y de que la pretendan jóvenes granjeros sin gracia. Por eso, al recibir la invitación de un pariente lejano en Nueva York, Nicholas Van Ryn, para que se mude a su casa, se entusiasma y lucha por convencer a su madre y, sobre todo, a su padre, para que le permitan ir. La oportunidad de vivir en Dragonwyck, una gran mansión, el magnetismo que el misterioso Nicholas ejerce sobre ella y su modo de vida le parecen un sueño.Sin embargo, bajo las torres góticas de Dragonwyck, sus jardines en flor y las granjas de los arrendatarios se esconden terribles secretos: la riqueza de los que tienen mucho y la miseria de los que no tienen nada, la lucha entre la libertad y las costumbres feudales, y el amor, la violencia y la oscuridad que a veces se esconden tras una apariencia bien distinta.Nota:Dragonwyck fue publicado por primera vez en 1944 y su éxito fue tal que fue llevado al cine en 1946, con Gene Tierney en el papel de Miranda y Vincent Price en el de Nicholas. Es una historia que, como pocas, muestra cómo se hunde el orden feudal en el Nuevo Mundo y cómo sale a la luz uno nuevo, con el coste que ello conlleva.

“Not many authors succeed so well as Mrs. Seton in combining adventure and romance in a modern setting. Above all it is the driving and relentless pursuit of a treasure which keeps the people and the episodes at pitch throughout.” — Library Journal
