How do I Love Thee? by Nancy Moser
How do I Love Thee? by Nancy Moser
Book 4 of Ladies of History
Summary:
Elizabeth Barrett is a published poet--and a virtual prisoner in her own home. Blind family loyalty ties her to a tyrannical father who forbids any of his children from marrying. Bedridden by a chronic illness, Elizabeth has resigned herself to simply existing. She escapes through her imagination and crafts richly textured poetry that gives voice to her longings.
Then, one day, she receives a letter from admiring poet, Robert Browning. This one letter prompts an exchange of passionate letters, clandestine meetings, and results in the penning of the famous Sonnets from the Portuguese.
Above all else, Elizabeth discovers that it is never too late for love.

Opening Lines:
"I will die soon."
My brother Edward leaned to an elbow on the company side of my bed. "oh posh, Ba. You've been dying for years and you are still with us."
He was right. Although I had celebrated a childhood of good health, the journey thogh my teen years, my twenties, and now my thirties had been greatly spent in a position of recline. And decline.
