Wexford County, 1891. The unlikely discovery of a beached blue whale sets in motion a series of events leading to the present-day re-installation of a fundamental piece of London's Natural History Museum.
Amherst, Massachusetts, circa. 1850. A letter is found revealing an intimate secret about the reclusive Miss Emily and her brother's fiance Susan Huntington.
London, circa. 1880. A young working-class woman named Ada Alice Pullen meets the esteemed painter Frederic Leighton, beginning a relationship that will transform her and the world of art forever. Three objects of hope, their stories retold as you've never heard them before: in the voices of the coxswain's girlfriend, the maid, and the model.
'Packed with tenderness, emotion, and humour. It opened me up to unknown worlds and left me wanting more' - Devika Ponnambalam, author of I AM NOT YOUR EVE
'Three stories of poetry, painting and science are deftly braided together in vivid, tender prose, and all linked by a nuanced and thoughtful exploration of the idea of hope. It's a slender novel but with more ambition, energy and emotional weight than many longer tomes. I loved it.' - Victoria MacKenzie, author of For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain
