Behind a Mask: A Woman's Power

by Louisa May Alcott

Overview

Originally published in 1866 under the pseudonym "A. M. Barnard.

Louisa May Alcott's novel of romance is one of her lesser-known gems.

Its tone and characterizations strike a markedly different chord from her best-known works, such as "Little Women" and "Little Men," and it remains a popular addition to her oeuvre.

Set in Victorian era Britain, the story follows Jean Muir, the deceitful governess of the wealthy Coventry family. With expert manipulation, Jean Muir obtains the love, respect, and eventually the fortune of the Coventry family.
