Miss Emily: A Novel

An Amazon Canada Best Book of the Year, the American debut of an award-winning Irish writer that brings to life Emily Dickinson and will enthrall fans of Longbourn and Mrs. Poe

Nuala Oâ€™Connorâ€™s enchanting American debut novel, Miss Emily, reimagines the private life of Emily Dickinson, one of Americaâ€™s most beloved poets, through her own voice and through the eyes of her familyâ€™s Irish maid.

Eighteen-year-old Ada Concannon has just been hired by the respected but eccentric Dickinson family of Amherst, Massachusetts. Despite their difference in age and the upstairs-downstairs divide, Ada strikes up a deep friendship with Miss Emily, the gifted elder daughter living a spinsterâ€™s life at home. But Emilyâ€™s passion for words begins to dominate her life. She will wear only white and avoids the world outside the Dickinson homestead. When Adaâ€™s safety and reputation are threatened, however, Emily must face down her own demons in order to help her friend, with shocking consequences.
