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
artefact, 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.
