About Learned by Heart by Emma Donoghue
Set in 1805 at the Manor School for Young Ladies in York, Emma Donoghue’s historical novel follows Eliza Raine, a fourteen-year-old pupil with an Indian mother and a British father. Sent to England as a child, Eliza now boards alone and keeps apart from her fellow students.

The novel may appeal to readers of historical fiction and literary stories about queer relationships, as well as those interested in the period and setting of a young women’s school in early nineteenth-century England.
