The Movement of Stars
By Amy Brill, April 2013, 400 pages.

Based very loosely on the life of Maria Mitchell, this debut novel tells the story of Hannah Gardner Price in the year 1845.

She discovers love when she takes a young whaler on as a student. Highly recommended for readers who loved Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier.
