She's drawn to the theater and an artistic life, but with her family in serious financial decline, pressure is on Thea to marry up in society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs her father and Aunt Nella work desperately to save the family home and catastrophe threatens to engulf them, Thea seeks refuge in the arms of her secret lover, Walter, the chief set-painter at her favorite theater. But the thrill of their romance is shadowed by another secret she keeps close: Her birthday marks the day her mother, Marin, died in labor. Thea's family refuses to share the details of the story, just as they seem terrified to speak of the shadowy artist from their past whose tiny figurines seem to capture the things most carefully hidden away. Aunt Nella believes the solution to Thea's problems is to find her a husband, and an unexpected invitation to Amsterdam's most exclusive ball seems like a golden opportunity. But when a miniature figure of Walter turns up on Thea's doorstep, it becomes clear that someone out there has another fate in mind for the family- and that perhaps the new beginning Thea seeks won't depend on a man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA feat of sweeping, magical storytelling, \u003ci\u003eThe House of Fortune\u003c\/i\u003e is an unputdownable novel about love and obsession, family and loyalty, and the fantastic power of secrets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessie Burton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.37w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635579741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2022 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2022 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2022 pg. 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022","brand":"Jessie Burton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44307056558308,"sku":"9781635579741","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781635579741.jpg?v=1719555960","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/the-house-of-fortune-jessie-burton-hardcover","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
