Horan's second novel is widely anticipated, as her debut, Loving Frank, has sold nearly a million copies and received exceptional reviews. Once more, Horan depicts a rule-breaking relationship, that of Robert Louis Stevenson and American divorcee Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne, who became his wife. They met in France in 1875, Fanny having fled a cheating husband and Robert the expectation that he become a lawyer, and Horan should ably capture their wide and starry love.
