- Summary:
- The journal of Elizabeth Pepys, wife of the celebrated diarist Samuel, is the story of a passionate, if pain-fraught marriage, of a gloriously rich and robust period in our history and a woman's passage through the defining years of her life in which her search to draw significance from her existence is punctuated by the everyday urgencies of living. At times jauntily acerbic, at others movingly elegiac, this is portrait of a tumultuous relationship and era that, in its sharp-edged concerns and emotions, is utterly compelling.
