Young Adult Romance
The resonant story of a young womans struggle to take charge of her own future, The Flight of Gemma Hardy is a modern take on a classic storyβCharlotte BrontΓs Jane Eyreβthat will fascinate readers of the Gothic original and fans of modern literary fiction alike, with its lyrical prose, robust characters, and abundant compassion. Set in early 1960s Scotland, this breakout novel from award-winning author Margot Livesey is a tale of determination and spirit that, like The Three Weissmanns of Westport and A Thousand Acres, spins an unforgettable new story from threads of our shared, still-living literary past.
