Description
Set in late-Victorian Essex beneath the glow of Halley’s Comet, this luminous historical novel follows a newspaper editor whose fascination with the heavens draws him into questions of science, faith, and the possibility of life beyond Earth. Alongside his intellectual quest, the story traces a deeply felt relationship shaped by love, secrecy, and the constraints of society. Blending astronomy, spiritual longing, and emotional intimacy, the novel explores how people search for meaning in both the vastness of the universe and the mysteries of the heart.
