Award-winning book by Sarah Perry, based on real events and set at the close of the eighteenth century.
Cora Seaborne's energetic quest for the Essex Serpent, which alternates between Essex and London, myth and modernity, challenges everyone around her to consider whether they should follow reason or faith in this day of swift scientific growth. The work also examines the limits of friendship and love as well as our obligations to one another. The intensity of emotion felt by the people living in the cities is equal to that of the people living in Aldwinter, as both seek to muster the bravery to communicate and comprehend their greatest fears and wishes.
