"Fiona Mountain is a major new talent in the field of
historical fiction." -Alison Weir, author of The Lady
Elizabeth. They say I'm mad and perhaps it's true. It is
well known that lust brings madness and desperation and
ruin. But upon my oath, I never meant any harm. All I
wanted was to be happy, to love and to be loved in return,
and for my life to count for something. That is not
madness, is it? So begins the story of Eleanor Glanville,
the beautiful daughter of a seventeenth-century Puritan
nobleman whose unconventional passions scandalized
society. When butterflies were believed to be the souls of
the dead, Eleanor's scientific study of them made her
little better than a witch. But her life-set against a
backdrop of war, betrayal, and sexual obsession-was that
of a woman far ahead of her time.
