Tuesday Night Book Club: And Only to Deceive

This month we will read and discuss And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander. Pick up a copy at the third floor Ask Here desk while supplies last. Book description: Emily accepted Viscount Philip Ashton’s proposal mainly to escape her domineering mother and had little attachment to him when he died soon after their wedding. Nearly two years later, she stumbles upon his journals and is surprised to discover he was a passionate antiquities collector who had truly loved her. Intrigued, she begins studying Greek and immerses herself in his world, which leads her to the British Museum—where she uncovers a dangerous mystery involving stolen artifacts. As she investigates, she must navigate the attentions of two wealthy suitors and confront unsettling truths about both her late husband and her place in Victorian society.
