Born into a world of wealth and pleasure, Annette Vallon enjoys
the privileges of aristocracy, but a burning curiosity and
headstrong independence set her apart from other women of her
class. Spoiled by the novels of Rousseau, she refuses to be married
unless it is for passion. Her stubborn devotion to her romantic
principles bears the sweetest fruit when William Wordsworth, a
young English poet, enters her life. She will be his mistress, his
muse, his obsession. But theirs is a love that will test Annette in
unexpected ways, bringing great joy and gravest peril in a dark
time of chaos, upheaval, and death.
Set amid the terror and excitement of the French Revolution,
Annette Vallon is an enthralling and evocative tale that captures
the courageous spirit of a remarkable woman who, for too long, has
been relegated to the shadows of history.
