Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan
This is the best kind of old-fashioned epic love story. Nancy Horan combines brilliant characterisation with great story-telling and wonderful description.
Independent Frances Osbourne can't help falling for smooth-talking Robert Louis Stevenson even though he's much younger. Their love affair develops quickly and Frances is swept away by the ambitious writer. However, what she really needs is stability. The novelist and Frances come alive in this book.
Horgan also evokes the atmosphere of mystical Scotland and Bohemian France beautifully.
