Love,
above the reach of time
by
Anna
M. Curren
The riveting narrative of this can't-put-down-book includes a passionate
fictional, and the historic real story of Lady Eleanor Butler and
the Honorable Miss Sarah Ponsonby: The Ladies of Llangollen, who
were internationally famous from late 1700s to the early 1900s.
With their unprecedented elopement from Ireland in 1778 and their
unapologetic 50 year open life together in the small Welsh town
of Llangollen, The Ladies provided heady gossip for a society which
until that time was woefully ignorant of the realities of female
sexuality.
With sparkling personalities and no small measure of intellectual
brilliance, The Ladies found themselves rapidly befriended by most
of the notables of their era, not unlike the devotion inspired in
the 1920s by America's own Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.
Largely forgotten today, but famous for over a hundred years after
their deaths, The Ladies are brought to sparkling life by our talented
author. The fictional love story, history of female sexuality, real
story of The Ladies' lives, sixteen pages of color photographs of
their historic Welsh home, and the author's own journey in completing
this classic work make captivating and unforgettable reading.
