Margot Livesey: The Flight of Gemma Hardy

Boston-area author Margot Livesey presents her most recent novel, The Flight of Gemma Hardy.

At once an homage to and a variation on the beloved classic Jane Eyre, this take on an iron-willed orphan girl, determined to find her place in the world despite the odds stacked against her, is set in Livesey's native Scotland in the early 1960s.

Margot Livesey is the author of several previous novels, including The House on Fortune Street.
