Like many girls of her day, she enjoys the fine clothes, food, and company of the elite social circles. But unlike her peers, Fanny is also drawn to education, literature, and more intellectual pursuits. Published author and poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is also touring Europe, but under much different circumstances. Recently widowed, he is gathering research for a new publication that he hopes will secure his professorship at Harvard College. Befriended by the Appleton family while visiting Switzerland, Henry is introduced to Fanny and sees in her a kindred spirit, a lover of language and literature and high ideals. He is in love. Fanny, however, is uncertain. He is from a much lower social class and is older than she is. How could such a relationship ever thrive? Could a book of Henry's poetry, personally delivered, persuade Fanny to believe in a love that lasts forever and forever?"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCourtship$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century$vFiction 606 $aCourtship$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00881873 607 $aBoston (Mass.)$esetting 607 $aMassachusetts$zBoston$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aBiographical fiction.$2lcgft 608 $aHistorical fiction.$2lcgft 608 $aRomance fiction.$2lcgft 608 $aChristian fiction.$2lcgft 608 $aNovels.$2lcgft 608 $aBiographical fiction.$2fast 608 $aChristian fiction.$2fast 608 $aFiction.$2fast 608 $aHistorical fiction.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aNovels.$2fast 608 $aRomance fiction.$2fast 615 0$aCourtship$xHistory 615 7$aCourtship. 676 $a813/.54 700 $aKilpack$b Josi S.$01236024 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151574803321 996 $aForever and forever$93399641 997 $aUNINA
