3 1/2 stars
WWI has just begun and Georgie, a young woman of privilege wants to break free so she leaves for London and begins work at a hospital that caters to wounded officers. One of these officers falls hopelessly in love with her but she has her sights set on a much older prize - the poet W.B. Yeats. Yeats is a mess and pulls Georgie and her emotions all over the map. He introduces her to a secret society and the world of the occult that was all the rage back then. At some point Georgie must figure out what she wants in life and who can best give that to her. It pulls at your heartstrings as poor Lt. Pike tries every way he knows how to get her attention and Yeats seems to do just the opposite. It is a quiet coming of age story wrapped up in a cozy bundle of historical fiction.
