Set in 19th-century New Britain, this exquisite novel tests a woman's love against her husband's utopian search. Sophy Hedge, the creative child of the town's minister, falls deeply in love with Gideon Birdsall, a powered theology student assisting her father with a Hebrew lexicon. Sophy is drawn to Gideon's intellect, passion, and spiritual mother nature while Gideon glimpses in her a free of charge heart and soul unbound by convention. Yet Gideon's restlessness after they wed concerns Sophy, and she finds his camaraderie with Leander Solloway, the charismatic new schoolmaster, a cause for nervousness. As the men immerse themselves in Gideon's mystical ideas, Sophy translates her doubts into secret paintings. When Sophy becomes pregnant, Gideon and Leander develop a faux Eden in a greenhouse as part of a daring experiment to find the vocabulary of heaven - the tongue Adam spoke when he named the creatures of the Earth. Sophy must determine whether to live on and paint in the world her man has made or get away to save lots of her child and herself. Responding to the amazing issues of faith, skill, and the elusive imagine perfection, Barbara Klein Moss has captured the fragility of human longing.
