LEARNED BY HEART
From the bestselling author of "Room" and "The Wonder" comes a heartbreaking novel based on the true story of two young girls - an orphaned heiress from India and a gifted troublemaker - who fall secretly, and dangerously in love at boarding school in 19th century York.
Drawing on years of investigation and Anne Lister's five-million-word secret journal, Learned by Heart is the long-buried love story of Eliza Raine, an orphan heiress banished from India to England at age six, and Anne Lister, a brilliant, troublesome tomboy, who meet at the Manor School for young ladies in York in 1805 when they are both fourteen.
Emotionally intense, psychologically compelling, and deeply researched, Learned by Heart is an extraordinary work of fiction by one of the world's greatest storytellers. Full of passion and heartbreak, the tangled lives of Anne Lister and Eliza Raine form a love story for the ages.
Emma Donoghue was born in Dublin in 1969 and is an Irish emigrant twice over: she spent eight years in Cambridge doing a PhD in eighteenth-century literature before moving to London, Ontario, where she lives with her partner and their two children. Her international bestseller Room was a New York Times Best Book of 2010 and was a finalist for the Man Booker, Commonwealth, and Orange Prizes. She is the author of The Wonder, which will be released as a Netflix film adaptation in 2022 starring Florence Pugh, and most recently, New York Times and international bestseller The Pull of the Stars, which was longlisted for the Giller Prize, and Haven (August 2022). Her books have been published in more than 40 languages.
