Sex, academics, and dwarf dahlias collide in a swirl of past and present, order and disorder — all in the microcosm of a Derbyshire country estate. In 1809, Thomasina Coverly is the gifted teenaged daughter of the house, theorising about mathematics, nature, and physics ahead of her time. Her tutor Septimus Hodge is a critic with a gift for ridicule and a taste for seduction. In 1992, writer Hannah Jarvis and literature professor Bernard Nightingale converge on the house: she is investigating a hermit who lived on the grounds; he is researching a mysterious chapter in the life of Lord Byron. They are helped by Valentine Coverly, a post-graduate in mathematics studying grouse, and together they uncover the lost knowledge of the past. Come for comedy, chaos, and carnal embrace.
