Both were married with children when they met in Oak Park, Illinois in 1899, after which the couple began a clandestine love affair that eventually led them to flee to Europe, destroying their marriages and scandalizing Chicago society.
More than a poignant and engaging love story, this is a novel about breaking old rules and living new ideas, set in Midwestern America, Berlin, Paris and the Italian hill towns. Based on seven years of writing and meticulous research, this ground-breaking novel succeeds as a work of fiction in its own right, yet is given added resonance by its adherence to remarkable true-life characters and events.
