Description
A young woman's life becomes entwined with that of Lord Byron's former physician, Dr Polidori. Eliza falls deeply in love with him, but her perception of reality is challenged when she meets the poet himself. As Eliza navigates her complicated feelings, Polidori struggles to escape his shadow and maintain a sense of identity. The publication of a ghost story brings Eliza and Polidori closer together, but also raises questions about the nature of truth and celebrity. As their relationship deepens, Polidori must weigh his desires against the demands of his past. This novel explores the complexities of love, identity, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction.
