History meets memoir in this charming second work by the author of Bleaker House. In pursuit of love, family, and a writing career, in 2013 grad student Nell Stevens finds herself drawn to the biography of Elizabeth Gaskell, who, in 1857, left her dull minister husband behind in England and took a transformative trip to Rome. Witty and original. The author was lauded by reviewers from NPR and Vogue for her first novel. Like new. Alfred A. Knopf. 2018. Paper. USED. $4.00 Show more
