Description:
<DIV><B>The <I>New York Times</I>&ndash;bestselling novel of a forbidden 1920s romance between a rebellious society woman and a Jewish writer from the author of <I>No Time for Tears.</I></B><BR /><BR /> In this evocative around-the-world tale of star-crossed love, Cynthia Freeman&mdash;the beloved author celebrated for her deft storytelling and understanding of family dynamics&mdash;takes readers on a whirlwind romance from Manhattan to Hollywood to the Israeli desert.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Beautiful and well-bred, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, Lily Goodhue is a woman who, on the surface, has everything. Her impending marriage to the handsome scion of a distinguished New York family was to be the wedding of the decade. People called it a match made in heaven. Yet beneath the dazzling fa&ccedil;ade, she is haunted by a devastating childhood tragedy and a deep yearning for true love, for someone who will want her simply for who she is.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> It all appears to Lily one day, like the sun emerging from behind the clouds, when she meets Harry Kohle, an aspiring young writer and the son of a banker. Enthralled and blinded by love, Lily breaks off her engagement, runs off with Harry, and never looks back, dedicating herself to a love against all odds. Their act of passion will leave them both disinherited, facing the challenge of living a marriage day by day, through thick and thin, as the glittering Prohibition era gives way to the crushing years of the Great Depression and beyond. It is a love that will prove to be Lily&rsquo;s greatest trial&mdash;and triumph.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> With the same &ldquo;heartfelt, almost inspirational prose&rdquo; that made <I>No Time for Tears</I> an unforgettable read, <I>The Last Princess</I> is a ravishing, complex love story and a moving testament to the human spirit&rsquo;s ability to overcome life&rsquo;s sorrows (<I>The New York Times Book Review</I>).<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
