In a love story that is both tender and heartbreaking, Donoghue tells of Anne Lister and Eliza Raine, who met as teenagers in 1805 at a boarding school for young women in York, England. They begin a secret, passionate affair. The author’s extensive research includes access to Lister’s journals and Raine’s letters, creating a moving, unforgettable novel.
