In the follow-up to her bestselling GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING, Tracy Chevalier again uses a historical artist (this time the Romantic poet William Blake) to fuel her plot. The Kellaways, a poor furniture-making family, move to London during the fraught year 1792, a time when the monarchy lives in terror that the French Revolution will spread to England. There, the youngest son falls in love with the exciting and cosmopolitan Maggie Butterfield--a romance helped, to some extent, by their mysterious and radical neighbor, Mr. Blake. However, Blake has troubles of his own: the Royalists are less than pleased with his controversial poetic aesthetics and personal philosophies. As in Chevalier's previous work, BURNING BRIGHT shimmers with a rich historical atmosphere and dramatic personalities.

The story ...
Tracy Chevalier captivated readers with The Girl with a Pearl Earring in December 1999. Since then, she has written two New York Times bestsellers, Falling Angels and The Lady and the Unicorn.
The
Kellaways were chair-makers and had always lived in Dorset. Personal
tragedy brought them to London, to work for the famous Astley's Circus.
The change to the tumultuous street-life of Lambeth was amazing to the
whole family, but it was their son, Jem, always the quickest, the most
questioning, who discovered not only his guide to London--and much
else--in Maggie Butterfield but also the extraordinary ways of their
neighbor, William Blake.
The interweaving lives of the
innocent country Kellaways, the experienced London Butterfields, the
strange but passionate man of conscience, William Blake, meant that
none of them were unchanged, and some paid a heavy price for their
resistance or support in a time of high social unrest. Burning Bright
is not only a brilliant portrait of a time of revolution in Britain but
it is also Tracy Chevalier's most powerful and moving novel, full of
extraordinary characters, and remarkable insight into the qualities of
innocence and experience.
