Description

In 1580s England, life goes on despite the ever-present threat of the Black Death. A young Latin tutor, struggling to make ends meet and facing bullying from his father, finds love with an extraordinary woman named Agnes. She is known for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than people. Agnes settles in Stratford-upon-Avon with her husband, where she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steady presence in the life of their young son. Tragedy strikes when the boy falls ill, and Agnes's world is turned upside down. Maggie O'Farrell's novel explores the complexities of family life, love, and loss in this poignant and beautifully written story.
