“A playful, mysterious, highly imaginative narrative set in the San Francisco of the 1890’s…Robust, sly, witty, elegant, unexpected and never, ever, boring.”—Margot Livesey, The New York Times Book Review
This week’s #BookFace model is Susan Knisley, NLC’s Online Services Librarian. She was kind enough to indulge us and played dress up for this week’s photo.

#BookFaceFriday “A Factory of Cunning”
Who’s up for a little #BookFace intrigue?
Take a trip to eighteenth-century England with this week’s #BookFace title. Get to know Mrs. Fox as she navigates upper class society after escaping her scandalous past in France in “A Factory of Cunning” by Philippa Stockley (Harcourt, 2005). This book is a part of our NLC Book Club Kit collection, and is the perfect selection to get your book club through the winter doldrums!
“The pages of this unscrupulous story are lined with lace, silk and muslin — all of it stitched together in a fabric of shimmering deceit.”– The Washington Post Book World
This week’s #BookFace model is Kay Goehring, NLC’s Talking Book & Braille Service Library Readers Advisor/Senior. We thought she was the perfect seductress to bring this book to life.
