Charles Dickens and Nelly Ternan met in 1857; she was 18, a
hard-working actress performing in his production of "The Frozen
Deep," and he was 45, the most lionized writer in England. Out of
their meeting came a love affair that lasted thirteen years and
destroyed Dickens's marriage while effacing Nelly Ternan from the
public record.
In this remarkable work of biography and scholarly reconstruction,
the acclaimed biographer of Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Hardy,
Samuel Pepys and Jane Austen rescues Nelly from the shadows of
history, not only returning the neglected actress to her rightful
place, but also providing a compelling portrait of the great
Victorian novelist himself. The result is a thrilling literary
detective story and a deeply compassionate work that encompasses
all those women who were exiled from the warm, well-lighted parlors
of Victorian England.
