In Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan, Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne, at 35, leaves her unfaithful husband in San Francisco and embarks on a journey to Belgium with her three children and nanny, seeking a fresh start and the opportunity to study art. However, tragedy soon strikes, prompting Fanny to retreat to a quiet artist’s colony in France to recover. There, she meets Robert Louis Stevenson, a young Scottish writer who is immediately captivated by her independent spirit. Despite initial reservations, Fanny eventually falls for Stevenson, and their passionate, tumultuous relationship unfolds across decades and continents. Their shared life, full of joy, sorrow, and adventure, mirrors the unpredictable nature of Stevenson’s own literary works.
