In the summer of 1889, Amelia van den Broek heads to Baltimore to visit her stylish and fiery cousin, Zora, in the hopes of finding a husband. But the best summer of her life is interrupted by dark visions of the future only she can see at sunset. As Amelia dares to discover more about her new "talent," she finds herself irrepressibly drawn to the mysterious artist, Nathaniel, who seems to have a few secrets of his own.
The Vespertine has what most classic historical romances do not -- a twist of paranormal. We've seen countless stories where couples are forbidden to be together due to differences in social status. In these stories, it's ultimately their love that transcends the ridiculous social hierarchy. But what if you were connected to someone of a different class on a level even deeper than love? What if you connected in a psychic and spiritual realm, one where classes do not exist?
Saundra Mitchell explores all that and more in The Vespertine. Click here to read my full review.
