The place is Weybridge, Vermont: small, cold, lonely, and beautiful. Sylvia Drake is exhausted. As an unwed woman with few prospects, she is residing with and caring for her sister's rambunctious family. Today the house is abuzz awaiting a guest--Charity Bryant. A friend of the family, she is most known for her elegant letters, with their swoopy and evocative penmanship and carefully chosen prose. But Charity's visit is a guise, she is coming to Vermont to start over after heartbreak and rumours--so many rumours--that have grown too loud back in Massachusetts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeing openly gay in 19th century New England is not an easy row to hoe. But Charity can only be herself, and she immediately catches--and holds--the eye of none other than Sylvia Drake. From this point on, for 44 years, the two would be inseparable, building a life together despite all odds and living as a lesbian couple in small town Vermont. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe true, exceptional story of these remarkable women is brought to life with humor and passion by the unparalleled and award-winning Tillie Walden (Spinning, On A Sunbeam). We see America grow alongside these women over a period that brings about the railroad, many novels, 14 Presidents, riots, rebellion, plagues, and poetry. Based on extensive archives of their writing, Charity and Sylvia is a groundbreaking biography that is also the story of 19th century America.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Charity and Sylvia | Tillie Walden | Hardcover | 9781770468382 | New | Comics \u0026 Graphic Novels 1785168","offer_id":67815931543704,"sku":"1785168","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91WaPrVY1-L.jpg?v=1793045088","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/charity-and-sylvia","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
