William and Lucy

William & Lucy (A story that's never been told) It's 1798. England is at war with France as 28 year old William Wordsworth meets 17 year old Lucy Sims. They fall into a love burdened by social prejudice, crushing debt and dangerous rumors that threaten to send Wordsworth to the gallows for being a French spy. Meanwhile, Lucy's employer plans to seduce her and make her his mistress. William and Lucy's relationship hangs in the balance, until fate steps in and ... their love becomes part of literary history. One of the most romantic poems in the history of English literature ‘She Dwelt Among The Untrodden Ways' was written by William Wordsworth. The subject of his poem was a young woman named Lucy—she is one of literary history's most enduring mysteries. Who was Lucy? Where did she come from? Did she ever exist? No one knows. This is their story… I believe William & Lucy will appeal to Jane Austin and Nicholas Sparks fans alike.
