From the author of the beloved 'Bleaker House', 'Mrs Gaskell and Me' is the story of two very modern women and their two love affairs, separated by 150 years.
A mesmerizing literary levitation act . . . lovely and thoughtful -- Vogue on Bleaker House This year's literary sensation -- Evening Standard on Bleaker House Perfect -- Lena Dunham on Bleaker House A witty, humane work of historical storytelling brilliantly enmeshed with an almost love story that intelligently shows us that it isn't only the happy endings that come to define our lives, but also those loves that cannot be. Stevens' clever, confiding voice is a worthy companion to those of us who have ever felt lost and have looked to the literature of the past for guidance. I loved it -- Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett Mrs Gaskell and Me is innovative and emotionally raw . . . a mature reflection on womanhood, and falling in love with men who we chase all over the world. Nell Stevens writes with a skill and passion all writers could learn from, and all readers will take joy in. -- Laura Jane Williams, author of Ice Cream for Breakfast A tender, clever, sublimely crafted book that celebrates the struggles and triumphs of writing, love, and the desire for connection -- Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars A truly lovely book - acutely observed and honest and melancholy -- Jessie Greengrass, author of Sight
