Title : The Angel Recital - Tracy Chevalier - book
Summary :
London, January 1901: Queen Victoria has just died. As custom dictates, the families go to the cemetery. Their graves were adjoining, the Waterhouses and the Colemans get to know each other, and their granddaughters immediately become friends. Yet the families have little in common. One embodies the traditional values of the Victorian era, while the other yearns for more freedom. In the cemetery, the true heart of the novel, Lavinia and Maude often meet and share their games and secrets with Simon, the gravedigger's son, much to their parents' dismay. Lavinia is raised to respect principles, while Maude is left to her own devices: her mother, Kitty Coleman, lives in her own fantasies. Neither reading, nor gardening, nor even an affair are enough to give her a taste for life. Until the day she discovers the suffragette cause. The lives of both families will be changed forever.
