Kris Waldherr Art and Words in conversation with Eva Stachniak
Eva’s prose is simply stunning: lyrical, intimate, and insightful. I was privileged to read an advance copy of THE SCHOOL OF MIRRORS and found myself completely immersed in Eva’s sweeping recreation of 18th-century France in all its glories and terrors. By the time I turned the last page, I’d felt as though I’d journeyed through that tumultuous era firsthand.

Melissa Flandreau writes: about The School of Mirrors
This beautifully written story takes place in the 18th-century court of King Louis XV. At Deer Park, on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles, young girls arrive believing they’re being offered employment in the household of a count. Instead, they’re trained as courtesans for the king, and Veronique quickly becomes a favorite. But when she becomes pregnant, she’s quickly taken away to give birth, and then separated from her daughter, Marie-Louise. Full of vivid details, The School of Mirrors is a riveting read.
