Synopsis
A lady author rewrites her life in Gilded Age Boston.
Victoria Swann, a successful author of romance and adventure novels, yearns for something more. Tired of her publisher's demands and the frivolous nature of her stories, she abandons her pen name and sets out to tell her own story, challenging the literary establishment and fighting for women's rights.
As Victoria finds her true voice, she gains an unexpected ally in her new, young, Harvard-bred editor. Set against the backdrop of Gilded Age Boston, The Literary Undoing of Victoria Swann explores the power of writing and reading as acts of defiance and revision, both on and off the page. This is a story for readers who enjoy historical fiction, women's fiction, and tales of personal transformation.
