For a handful of gold, Madame de Morville will read your future in a glass of swirling water. You'll believe her, because you know she's more than 150 years old and a witch, and she has all of Paris in the palm of her hand. But Madame de Morville hides more behind her black robes than you know. Her real age, the mother and uncle who left her for dead, the inner workings of the most secret society of Parisian witches: None of these truths would help her outwit the rich who so desperately want the promise of the future. After all, it's her own future she must control, no matter how much it is painted with uncertainty and clouded by vengeance.

"Take a full cup of wit, two teaspoons of brimstone, and a dash of poison, and you have Judith Merkle Riley's mordant, compelling tale of an ambitious young woman who disguises herself as an ancient prophetess in order to gain entry into the dangerous, scheming glamour of the Sun King's court. Based on scandalous true events, The Oracle Glass brims with our human foibles, passions, and eccentricities; it's a classic of the genre and unlike any historical novel you have ever read." (C. W. Gortner, author of The Confessions of Catherine de Medici)

The French pronunciations are awful and often wrong, it’s Mor-vil not Mor-vee! Really annoying when it’s the main character. The story is amazing, but the narration is just wrong with such a strong American twang.

Would have preferred a British narrator

I've been fond of this novel for decades now, but this narration is just absolutely awful.

I should not be hearing the rape of a teenage girl in the same breathy unemotional tone as her testing out her mother's perfume.

Doesn't remotely do this story justice
