- Summary
- Roland Michell and Maud Bailey are young academics in the 1980s researching the lives of two Victorian literary figures: the major poet Randolph Henry Ash and the lesser-known âfairy poetessâ Christabel LaMotte. After coming across hints of a long-buried and potentially explosive secret in the poetsâ letters and journals, Maud and Roland join forces to track their subjectsâ movements from London to Yorkshire to Brittany, tracing clues embedded in poems and hunting down evidence in dusty archives and in a freshly opened grave. Their eagerness to uncover the truth draws the two lonely scholars together, but what they discover will have implications they could not have imagined
