Amherst (Thorndike Press Large Print Peer Picks) - Hardcover

"Lyric and rich, this beautiful novel presents two love affairs more than a century apart, expertly stitched together by the unseen hand of Emily Dickinson. Through a small, intimate lens the novel explores blockbuster themes of love, honesty and fidelity. It is a rare and lovely book."--Priya Parmar, author of Vanessa and Her Sisters and Exit the Actress

"William Nicholson's multi-stranded love stories are grounded in ultra-credible characterisation."--Allan Massie "The Scotsman "
