Description

With amazing authenticity, the novel gives voice to ‘Chattie,’ Miss Charlotte Spears of Annville, a music teacher and composer torn by duty and desire. Part historical fiction, part murder mystery, The Flourish brings to life an independent woman’s adventures beside the River Clyde in the late 19th century.
