Lucasta Miller's account of an infamous female poet in ruthless times - London in the 1820s and '30s.

Letitia is getting older, her writing powers are diminishing, and she is afraid of the gossip swirling around her. Then she meets a man to marry, if that will actually solve things... and sets sail with him for West Africa. A lovely life is on the horizon?
