Exploring the lives of three Romanticism writers through the eyes of the women who knew them – from Byron to Shelley to Keats, Morgan captures their stories with a new light in an innovative and original way.
My Rating: 3 out of 5
As said above, the story is original and captivating - the varying narrative perspectives make it hard to read at times, especially due to the shifts between whose commentary the specific page is, yet the length of the novel demonstrates the quality with which Morgan had to write with in order to capture the true essence of such inspirational people.
This piece of historical fiction combines fact with tragedy, and tragedy with love – Jude Morgan surpasses himself in this novel with great intensity throughout, presenting these three great writers in a fresh way.
