From the bestselling author of Hamnet, The Marriage Portrait is a spellbinding reimagining of the short life of Lucrezia de' Medici, married at fifteen to the ruthless Duke of Ferrara. Isolated in a foreign court and haunted by the fate of the wife who came before her, Lucrezia begins to suspect that her husband intends her for the same end. Sensuous, atmospheric, and quietly devastating, Maggie O'Farrell brings Renaissance Italy vividly to life in this tale of art, power, and a young woman fighting to survive within a gilded cage.
