After she meets Finn, the handsome prince of a small European kingdom, her fate is sealed. With a collar of pearls locked around her throat and a rope of diamonds leashing her to a balcony, Caroline uses her once-powerful body to smile, wave, and produce children with perfect grace. But once she begins to open her eyes to the world around her--and examine her own reflection--Caroline discovers that she may have entered a bargain that cannot be undone. Barbara Bourland stunning third novel is her most ambitious and most imaginative book to date. Inspired by accounts of real-life princesses who yearned to escape, and set in a grotesque and gaudy prerecession 2000s Europe, The Force of Such Beauty is a heart-wrenching and compulsively readable testament to the way in which real-life power structures around the world ultimately rest on the subjugation of women bodies."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Princesses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women prisoners $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Escapes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bourland, Barbara. $t Force of such beauty. $d [New York] : Dutton, [2022] $z 9780593329368 $w (OCoLC)1259298045 $w (OCoLC)1259298045 941 $a 11 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409042828.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024942.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230822011231.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20230602010613.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230202011213.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20221005011333.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20221004010722.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220903010426.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220824011135.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804025119.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220802023024.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1394B2C098311EDB261E6D81FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
