Tracy Chevalier — Burning Bright

HarperCollins 2007 Hardback, 400pp. Against the backdrop of a city anxious over the bloody French revolution, a surprising bond forms between Jem, whose family have moved from Dorset, and streetwise Londoner Maggie Butterfield. Their friendship takes a dramatic turn when they become entangled in the life of their neighbour, the poet and printer William Blake. DJ. DJ bumped at edges. (ISBN: 9780007178353). Good.
