| book description |

From the Booker Prize-winning author of â€˜Offshoreâ€™ comes this unusual romance between the poet Novalis and his fiancÃ©e Sophie, newly introduced by Candia McWilliam. The year is 1794 and Fritz, passionate, idealistic and brilliant, is seeking his fatherâ€™s permission to announce his engagement to his heartâ€™s desire: twelve-year-old Sophie. His astounded family and friends are amused and disturbed by his betrothal. What can he be thinking? Tracing the dramatic early years of the young German who was to become the great romantic poet and philosopher Novalis, â€˜The Blue Flowerâ€™ is a masterpiece of invention, evoking the past with a reality that we can almost feel.
