Book Overview

by Erika Robuck (Author)

From the bestselling author of Hemingway's Girl comes a novel that explores the unlikely marriage between celebrated novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne and accomplished artist Sophia Peabody--a forgotten woman in history who inspired one of the greatest writers of American literature.

As a sensitive, artistic young woman, Sophia Peabody is discouraged from pursuing a woman's traditional roles of marriage and motherhood. But from their first meeting, she and Nathaniel Hawthorne begin an intense romantic partnership. Together, they cross continents, raise children, and experience all the beauty and tragedy of life fully lived. Sophia's vivid journals and masterful paintings inspire Nathaniel's writing. But their children's needs and personal losses fuel a perennial tug-of-war between Sophia's domestic duties and her own desires.

Spanning the years from the 1830s to the Civil War, and moving from Massachusetts to England, Portugal, and Italy, The House of Hawthorne explores the story of a woman, forgotten by history, who inspired one of the greatest writers of American literature...
