Award-winning author Kate Taylor returns with a scintillating, intricate novel about marriage and infidelity in two lushly distinct eras: Dickens' England and our own present day. When Sharon learns that her husband Al is having an affair with one of his students, her life is sent into turmoil, and the couple decides to split. But when Sharon is diagnosed with cancer, she and Al are brought together once again. Will they find a way to repair their relationship under the most trying and unlikely circumstance? Meanwhile, in an interwoven thread, we meet Nelly, a young, beautiful 19th century woman with ties to the theatre. Magnetized toward the incomparable Charles Dickens, Nelly becomes his secret mistress. But soon, she will learn the cost of her captivity and the limits she has placed on her own life. As these dual narratives each work through the mysteries around fidelity and marriage, love and passion, creativity and the secrets at the heart of domestic life, they will aslo ask deep questions about biography and infamy, and what really makes up the story of a life.
