The Lost Prince / Selden Edwards

“…Once again, Edwards has a good time connecting historical events and philosophical ideas, and also connecting this book to his first, though many of those threads remain loose until late in the narrative, and parts of the book feel verbose. But Edwards’s bird’s-eye view of the details of this momentous age makes this companion piece as much fun as his debut.” ~Publishers Weekly   

“Moving from America’s Gilded Age through WWI’s aftermath in Europe, Edwards’ delightfully imaginative second novel follows a courageous woman’s singular accomplishments and their far-reaching effects on history… Eleanor discovers she has a surprising amount of latitude for personal choice within her predetermined life, which keeps the plot unpredictable and fresh. Intelligent and romantic, The Lost Prince can stand independently of The Little Book (2008), which told Wheeler’s story, but why deprive yourself of the pleasures of reading both?” ~Booklist (Sarah Johnson) 

“A powerful, intense and fascinating read.” ~Kirkus Reviews

“Thanks to a mysterious journal Eleanor Burden received in 1897 fin-de-siècle Vienna, she is able to predict and benefit from most of the major events of the early twentieth century. Angela Brazil’s lovely cultured voice brings credibility to Eleanor, and to Selden Edwards’s flawless diction and precise descriptions. In this sequel (or prequel) to THE LITTLE BOOK, Eleanor, now aware of her destiny, makes certain all the journal’s predicted events come about, including her marriage to Frank Burden and her friendships with Carl Jung, William James, Gustav Mahler, and other important figures of the day. Brazil avoids turning the now famous personalities into caricatures. Time travel, philosophy, and ethics (should Eleanor have warned passengers on the TITANIC?) make this a fascinating listen.” ~AudioFile (S.J.H)
