In a tradition which stretches from Daphne du Maurier's The King's General to Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl and Alison Weir's Innocent Traitor, this glorious historical novel is based on the life of the great seventeenth-century entomologist, Eleanor Glanville.
Born into a world seething with treachery and suspicion, Eleanor Goodricke grows up on the Somerset Levels just after the English Civil Wars, heiress to her late mother's estates and daughter of a Puritan soldier who fears for his brilliant daughter with her dangerous passion for natural history - and for butterflies in particular.
Her reckless courage will take her to places where no woman of her day ever dared to go. Her fearless ambition will give her a place in history for all time. But it is her passionate heart which will lead her into a consuming love - and mortal peril.
