A Quiet Adjustment: A Novel
Benjamin Markovits
In his Byron trilogy, Benjamin Markovits lovingly reinvents the nineteenth-century novel, true to its perfect prose, penetrating insight, and simmering passions. Inspired by the actual biography of Lord Byron-the greatest literary figure and most notorious sex symbol of his age-Markovits reimagines Byron’s marriage to the capable, intellectual, and tormented Annabella and the scandal that broke open their lives and riveted the world around them: Byron’s incestuous relationship with his impetuous half-sister, Gus. Their very different understandings of love and one’s obligations to society lead them all-and the reader-headlong to a devastating conclusion.
