The Flight of Gemma Hardy: A Novel

The New York Times–bestseller: an "exceptionally well-plotted, well-crafted, innovatively interpreted modern twist" on Jane Eyre (The Boston Globe).

The resonant story of a young woman's struggle to take charge of her own future, The Flight of Gemma Hardy is a modern take on a classic story—Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. With its lyrical prose, robust characters, and abundant compassion, it will fascinate readers of the Gothic original and fans of modern literary fiction alike.

Set in early 1960s Scotland, this breakout novel from award-winning author Margot Livesey is a tale of determination and spirit that, like The Three Weissmanns of Westport and A Thousand Acres, spins an unforgettable new story from threads of our shared, still-living literary past.

"Sure to delight the multitudes of Brontë fans, and the multitudes of fans that Livesey deserves." —The Boston Globe "A suspenseful, curl-up-by-the-fire romance with a willfully determined protagonist who's worthy of her literary role model." —People
