Historical fiction. American fiction. The latest historical blockbuster from the auth of Girl with a Pearl Earring. London 1792. The Kellaways move from familiar rural Dorset to the tumult of a cramped, unforgiving city, they are leaving behind the terrible loss, a blow that only a completely new life may soften. Against the backdrop of a city jittery over the increasingly bloody French Revolution, a surprising bond forms between Jem, the youngest Kellaway boy, and streetwise Londoner Maggie Butterfield. Their friendship takes a dramatic turn when they become entangled in the life of their neighbour, the printer, poet and radical, William Blake. He is a guiding spirit as Jem and Maggie navigate the unpredictable, exhilarating passage from innocence to experience.
