The New York Times best-selling writer of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker comes back with a riveting work of historical fiction following a notorious John Wilkes Booth and the four women who placed his perilous self-confidence. The world wouldn't normally look upon his like again. John Wilkes Booth - driven son of any acclaimed British stage actor and a Covent Garden blossom woman, whose misguided goal to avenge the vanquished Confederacy led him to commit one of the very most notorious works in the history of America - has been the main topic of scholarship or grant, speculation, and even obsession. Though in his plot to assassinate Leader Abraham Lincoln, Booth didn't act together - "I am identified to be a villain," he tragically prophesized on the occasion of his acclaimed 1862 NEW YORK debut in the role of Richard III - he is often portrayed as a shadowy amount, devoid of individual interconnection. Yet four women were important in the life span of this unquiet North american: Mary Ann, the mother he revered above all but country; his sister and confidante, Asia; Lucy Lambert Hale, the senator's child who adored him; and the Confederate widow Mary Surratt, to whom he entrusted the secrets of his vengeful wrath. In Fates and Traitors: A Novel of John Wilkes Booth, New York Times best-selling publisher Jennifer Chiaverini makes for the first time as fiction the persuasive interplay between these pivotal stars - some ready, others unwitting - who made an indelible draw on the annals of our land.
