Description
Dr. Victoria McClellan is writing a life of the poet Lydia Brooke, five years after Brooke's tragic suicide. Living in Grantchester, a village near Cambridge, Vic McClellan becomes immersed in Lydia's past. The poet, a pioneer of the confessional voice in poetry, survived a tumultuous marriage, brushes with madness, and early suicide attempts. However, Vic discovers that Lydia achieved a new creativity and balance in midlife, making it increasingly difficult to accept that she died by her own hand.
