The main characters are Cora Seaborne, a politician’s widow from London, and William Ransome, a married vicar from Aldwinter, a village in Essex.Ĭora’s late husband, Michael, was abusive, and his death has freed her.
Set in late Victorian England over the better part of a year (1893), this is an observant novel, with a lot of interesting historical detail. The reality was completely different from Possession, despite the presence of letter exchanges, romantic triangles, naturalism and a sea serpent, as well as a Victorian setting. The Essex Serpent caught my interest because it sounded like it had a lot of elements in common with what might be my favorite literary novel, Possession by A.S. I waited impatiently for it to be published in the United States and then checked it out of the library, since my success at finishing literary novels has been spotty in recent years. Your novel first came to my attention when Robin, posting as Janet, reported that it won both Fiction Book of the Year and overall Book of the Year at the British Book Awards.
