A tender and engrossing historical novel about the unlikely love affair between two great 19th-century poets, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett.
Lyrically written, and as rich as any Bronte novel, The Swan's Nest will immerse its readers in the radical hopes of two people who believed love in practice could be as enduring and faithful as love in poetry.
"Written with elegant prose, The Swan’s Nest by Laura McNeal explores the relationship between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett and the risks they made for love while also exploring important social issues and the source of the Barrett family’s wealth.” -- History Through Fiction
