Spanning the years from the 1830s to the Civil War, and moving from Massachusetts to England, Portugal, and Italy, the book explores the tension within a famous marriage of two soulful, strong-willed people, each devoted to the other but also driven by a powerful need to explore the far reaches of their creative impulses. It is the story of a forgotten woman in history who inspired one of the greatest writers of American literature.
