About the book

Penelope Fitzgerald's The Blue Flower is a historical novel inspired by the early life of German Romantic poet Novalis. The story follows the young Friedrich von Hardenberg and his extraordinary love for the much younger Sophie von Kühn. Fitzgerald combines understated humour, family life and philosophical curiosity in a subtle portrait of idealism and Romantic imagination.
