It's 1836, and 19-year-old Fanny Appleton, a privileged daughter of a wealthy, upper-class Boston industrialist, is touring Europe with her family. Like many girls of her day, she enjoys the fine clothes, food, and company of the elite social circles. But unlike her peers, Fanny is also drawn to education, literature, and more intellectual pursuits.

Published author and poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is also touring Europe but under much different circumstances. Recently widowed, he is gathering research for a new publication that he hopes will secure his professorship at Harvard College. Befriended by the Appleton family while visiting Switzerland, Henry is introduced to Fanny and sees in her a kindred spirit, a lover of language and literature and high ideals. He is in love. Fanny, however, is uncertain. He is from a much lower social class and is older than she is. How could such a relationship ever thrive? Could a book of Henry's poetry, personally delivered, persuade Fanny to believe in a love that lasts forever and forever?

First off, I love historical fiction books and how raw this story is. Josi Kiplack is great at putting together supposed relationships and filling in the blanks. The writing is great but the story itself is what made the rating overall lower. I was envisioning something more captivating when I struggled to get through the book. I’m sure Fanny and Wllliam’s relationship was great but Fanny was mostly annoying me the whole book, which definitely showed how much she matured over the years. I’d probably only read this the one time. The performance was awesome and kept me reading on. I love Cassandra’s work!

Loved the story in its finest. Enjoyed the narrator. Captured my interest right away and my interest was fed through to the end. Glad was able to learn about Henry and Fannie's love story.

I loved this pure romance & the history it potrayed. The coutships back then were so pure, but still exillarating.

Swoon worthy!

I love to read stories based on true characters and enjoyed knowing more about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's courtship with his wife. It did get a bit tedious but then it took place over seven years. I always appreciate when an author explains fact and fiction in building a story at the end. This was a very enjoyable read.

Good

This historical fiction is very well done. However, it is a frustrating and emotionally painful story, which is no reflection on the author, just the history itself. I enjoyed the narration, but sometimes she was quiet enough that I had to turn up the volume, then loud enough that I had to turn it down. This occurred more often than in other books.

Nicely Done!

I got into the story right away! It was very well done! It did seem to drag a little bit, however, it did not ruin it at all for me. There were several times in the recording where there seemed to be issues with volume where you could barely understand what was being said. There is no way it was for a dramatic effect either. Overall a very pleasant listen!

Enjoyable

Such a wonderful, heartwarming story!! Josi S. Kilpack did a wonderful job recreating Fanny and Henry, through out the story I did love the ups and downs they went through, though I was very sad sometimes haha but it made me cheer them on! Haha! But it all turned out well in the end! Fanny I think just needed time of course so their relationship could actually blossom, so that they would both love each other in the end. I think it was a good thing Fanny refused him at first, because she needed time and to mature a little bit as well and Henry needed to sort himself out to. But oh! Just a lovely story, this is my second time listening to this book, it’s a must read!

Just the story in general!
