Description
Tennyson's Gift is a novel that brings together the lives of some of the most fascinating figures of the Victorian era. In 1864, the Isle of Wight is abuzz with creativity, as a poet laureate struggles with his work, a photographer perfects her craft, and a mismatched couple finds themselves at the centre of a remarkable encounter. Against this backdrop, a mathematician and a phrenologist become entangled in a story of wit, wisdom, and farce.
