When Samuel Taylor Coleridge moves to Greta Hall in Cumbria in July 1800 he should have everything he needs: his wife Sara is pregnant again, the house is big enough for him to work in undisturbed and he is living close to the Wordsworths in countryside that he loves.
But there is another Sarah up here in the north: Sarah Hutchinson. And as his already-shaky marriage begins to fall further apart Coleridge finds himself drawn more and more to her and the charmed Wordsworth circle…
As a standalone novel or as a companion to Three Extraordinary Years, this novel perfectly captures the life and times of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
