Reading Group Guide for The Absent Heart
The Absent Heart recounts the life of Frances Sitwell (1838 – 1924), muse (or more?) to the iconic Scottish writer R.L. Stevenson. The book explores a complex web of relationships which has Frances at its centre and looks at how an educated woman navigates the landscape of friendship, love and desire in Victorian England. Themes of motherhood and male sexuality are also explored.
Buy the book as an e-book or paperback or check if your library can source copies.
