A ROYAL LIKENESS
Book ID/图书代码： 14780010B41892
English Summary/英文概要： As heiress to the famous Laurent Fashion Dolls business, Marguerite Ashby’s future seems secure. But France still seethes with violence in the wake of the Revolution. And when Marguerite’s husband Nicholas is killed during a riot at their shop, she leaves home vowing never to return. Instead, the young widow travels to Edinburgh and joins her old friend, Marie Tussaud, who has established a touring wax exhibition.
Under the great Tussaud’s patient instruction, Marguerite learns to mold wax into stunningly lifelike creations. When Prime Minister William Pitt commissions a wax figure of military hero Admiral Nelson, Marguerite becomes immersed in a dangerous adventure—and earns the admiration of two very different men. And as Britain battles to overthrow Napoleon and flush out spies against the Crown, Marguerite will find her own loyalties, and her heart, under fire from all sides.
With wit, flair, and a masterful eye for telling details, Christine Trent brings one of history’s most fascinating eras to vibrant life in an unforgettable story of desire, ambition, treachery, and courage.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作为著名的洛朗时装玩偶事业的女继承人，Marguerite Ashby的未来似乎已经有了保障。但法国仍然存在着革命前的暴动倾向。一次，Marguerite与丈夫 Nicholas在逛街购物的时候，他不幸死于暴动之中，于是她离家出走发誓再也没有回来。相反地，年轻的寡妇游历到爱丁堡，并与她的老朋友们再次相逢，他们建立了一个巡回展览的Marie蜡像馆。 在许多蜡像制作者的指导下， Marguerite学会了将模型塑造成栩栩如生的蜡像。当首相William Pitt委托她塑造一个英雄军人Admiral Nelson时，Marguerite陷入了一场危险的冒险之中——并赢得了两个迥然不同的人的钦佩。正如英国战役推翻了拿破仑，反间谍对抗王权一样，Marguerite会发现自己的忠诚，热心，都将受到火一般的考验。
智慧，才能，能够讲述故事的锐利，Christine Trent以一个让人难忘的，充满欲望，野心，背叛以及勇气的故事，为鲜活的生活带来了历史上最具魅力的时代之一。(兼职翻译-PXD)
