# Behind a Mask (Brief Encounters) by Louisa May Alcott (Paperback)

This is Alcott as you have never seen her before, sharp, gothic, and gloriously unsettling

Jean Muir arrives at the wealthy Coventry household as a humble governess. But beneath her meek exterior lies a woman of steely ambition and dangerous cunning. What begins as a tale of domestic harmony turns swiftly into a drama of seduction, betrayal, and psychological gamesmanship.
