The Lost Prince

The author of the beloved New York Times bestselling novel The Little Book returns with a sequel about a love
that is capable of bridging unfathomable distances.

Recently returned from the experience of a lifetime in fin de siècle Vienna, where she
met and tragically lost the first great love of her life, Eleanor Burden has no choice but
to settle into her expected place in society, marry the man she is supposed to marry,
and wait for life to come to her. As the twentieth century approaches, hers is a story not
unlike that of the other young women she grew up with in 1890s Boston-a privileged
upbringing punctuated by a period of youthful adventure and followed by the inevitable
acknowledgment of real life-except for one small difference: Eleanor possesses an
unshakable belief that she has advance knowledge of every major historical event to
come during her lifetime.

But soon the script of events she has written in her mind-a script described by
no less than Sigmund Freud as the invented delusions of a hysteric-begins to unravel.
Eleanor Burden, at once fragile and powerful, must find the courage of her deepest
convictions, discover the difference between predetermination and free will, secure
her belief in her own sanity, and decide whether she will allow history to unfold come
what may-or use her extraordinary gifts to bend history to her will and deliver for her
the life she knows she is meant to have.
