| book description |

Royal Academy, London 1919: Lily has put her student days in St. Ives, Cornwall, behind herâ€”a time when her substitute mother, Mrs. Ramsay, seemingly disliked Lilyâ€™s portrait of her and Louis Grier, her tutor, never seduced her as she hoped he would. In the years since, sheâ€™s been a suffragette and a nurse in WWI, and now sheâ€™s a successful artist with a painting displayed at the Royal Academy. Then Louis appears at the exhibition with the news that Mrs. Ramsay has died under suspicious circumstances. Talking to Louis, Lily realizes two things: 1) she must find out more about her beloved Mrs. Ramsayâ€™s death (and her sometimes-violent husband, Mr. Ramsay), and 2) She still loves Louis. Set between 1900 and 1919 in picturesque Cornwall and war-blasted London, Talland House takes Lily Briscoe from the pages of Virginia Woolfâ€™s To the Lighthouse and tells her story outside the confines of Woolfâ€™s novelâ€”as a student in 1900, as a young woman becoming a professional artist, her loves and friendships, mourning her dead mother, and solving the mystery of her friend Mrs. Ramsayâ€™s sudden death. Talland House is both a story for our present time, exploring the tensions women experience between their public careers and private loves, and a story of a specific moment in our pastâ€”a time when women first began to be truly independent.
