Description - The Movement of Stars by Amy Brill
An historical love story for fans of Tracy Chevalier, Joanne Harris and Rose Tremain
A love story written in the stars
It is 1845, and Hannah Gardner Price dreams of a world infinitely larger than the small Quaker community where she has lived all 25 years of her life - for, as an amateur astronomer, she secretly hopes to discover a comet and win the King of Denmark's prize for doing so.
Then she meets Isaac Martin, a young black whaler from the Azores who, like Hannah herself, has ambitions beyond his station. Drawn to him despite their differences, Hannah agrees to tutor Isaac in the art of navigation. As their shared passion for the stars develops into something deeper, however, Hannah's standing in the community is called into question, and she has to choose- her dreams or her heart.
