Tanya Kagan, a specialist in Russian art at a top New York auction house, is trying to entice Russia's wealthy oligarchs to bid on the biggest sale of her career, The Order of Saint Catherine, while making sense of the sudden and unexplained departure of her husband. As questions arise over the provenance of the Order and auction fever kicks in, Reyn takes us into the world of Catherine the Great, the infamous 18th-century woman who may have owned the priceless artifact, and who it turns out faced many of the same issues Tanya wrestles with in her own life. The Imperial Wife asks what female ambition means, today and in the past, and whether a marriage can withstand an ambitious wife"-- Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Catherine $b II, $c Empress of Russia, $d 1729-1796 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women art dealers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Painting $x Collectors and collecting $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023557.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045509.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20170425011054.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20170228012650.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3DF95F8F02711E69EE6F7D8DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
