About Enlightenment by Sarah Perry
Set in the small Essex town of Aldleigh, Sarah Perry’s Enlightenment follows Thomas Hart and Grace Macaulay, friends separated by three decades in age but drawn together by their questions about faith and the world beyond their Baptist community. Their story unfolds over twenty years, with friendship, love and astronomy at its heart.
After romantic relationships strain their bond, Thomas becomes absorbed in the story of a vanished nineteenth-century astronomer said to haunt a nearby manor, while Grace leaves for London. Their lives later circle back toward one another as the mystery develops.
This literary and historical novel will suit readers interested in fiction that brings together religion, scientific pursuit, friendship and love. Its central questions include what can change, what may be predetermined, and whether two people can find their way back to each other.
