The end of days is near, but life always goes on. A young Latin tutor—penniless and bullied by a violent father—falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman. Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is just taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46959048950000,"sku":"9781984898876","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781984898876_p0.jpg?v=1763672396","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781984898876","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
