**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Sarah Crouch has spent her whole life buried in novels, dreaming of the kind of love her guardian would never permit. Dover, 1897. When she meets Edwin Marsh, a dockworker with a hunger for ideas above his station, she finds it – in stolen Sundays behind the church yew tree and secret notes hidden inside a library dictionary. But Sarah carries another longing too: to know the mother she never met, a woman named Elizabeth who died giving her life and whose name her father refuses to speak.
