June Barraclough s two previous novels
have been distinguished by their intelligent
heroines who struggle against the conven-
tions of nineteenth-century society. In
Kindred Spirits, she chronicles an artistic
young woman s search for love in the
literary London of Byron and Shelley.
When Jane Banham s father dies she is
forced to leave the country village of her
youth to live with an unknown uncle in
London. She is distressed by the sudden
upheaval in her life, but the sixteen-year-
old orphan s spirits revive when her uncle
introduces her to the leading lights of
London s literary world.
Philip March, the dashing young editor of
a new magazine, offers to publish some of
her writing, while Fred Digby--a sensitive
man trapped in an unhappy marriage--
invites her to parties at his Hertfordshire
home.
