About the Author:
Melissa Jones was born in London and now lives in Essex with her husband and two children. This is her third novel.
From AudioFile:
An episode in the life of Henry James concerning his relationship with his cousin, Minny Temple, is the inspiration for this engrossing novel. Lorna Raver is Emily Hudson, a high-spirited, independent young woman who longs to be an artist in a period when girls were expected to conform to rigid norms. Raver's girlish enthusiasm contains the flush of youth as Emily manages to scandalize and outrage her severely critical uncle, at the same time captivating her cousin William, an up-and-coming writer. As Emily battles consumption, listeners will feel Raver growing weak and pale along with her. From the intriguing prologue--in which a man is throwing beautiful gowns into the river--to the triumphant conclusion, Lorna Raver turns EMILY HUDSON into a woman worth knowing. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dear Mr Cornford, It is with regret that I begin the task of writing to you about your niece, Emily. Her recent behaviour, which I have outlined to you in previous letters, compels me to request that she be formally removed from the school and returned to your care with immediate effect . . . And so Emily Hudson, niece and ward, is dispatched into the care of her distant and cold uncle, to take residence at the family s Newport beach house at the outbreak of the Civil War. She is an orphan, the sole member of her family not claimed by consumption. In that first lonely summer, it is Emily s cousin William - himself an outsider - who is her saviour. Her spirit and vibrancy are at odds with the stilted climate of American society: a woman should be a paragon of virtue, definitely not an aspiring painter with no fortune to speak of. William s friendship offers Emily the chance to escape to London to pursue her dreams, but his patronage soon turns darker and more controlling. And as Emily s health falters, she turns to some rather unsuitable means to find the release she craves . . . A transporting, engaging novel about a young woman's struggle to find her own way in 19th-century Boston, London and Rome.
