On the 15th day of December in the year of our Lord 1664, a great light bloomed in the dark sky. Born on the night of a bad-luck comet, Ursula Flight has a difficult destiny written in the stars. Growing up with her family in the country, she is educated by a forward-thinking father who enables her to discover a love of reading, writing, and astrology. Ursula dreams of becoming a famous playwright, but is devastated to learn she must instead fulfill her family's expectations and marry. Trapped and lost, Ursula plots her escape, but her freedom will come at a price.
As Ursula's dangerous desires play out, both on and off the stage, she is flung into a giddy world of actors, aristocrats, and artistic endeavors that will change her life irrevocably. A gutsy coming-of-age story about a spirited young woman struggling to lead a creative life, this uplifting tale vividly evokes the glittering world of Restoration-era theatre. For anyone who has ever tried to succeed against the odds, The Illumination of Ursula Flight is an inspiring journey of love and loss, heartbreak and all-consuming passion. This is a debut pulsating with life for readers of Jessie Burton, Sarah Waters, and Sarah Perry.
