Love and Conductivity

Summary:

Love and adventure don’t mix, or so thinks Eleanor Morgan, a poetry teacher in 1918 Oklahoma. And she’s heard the call to adventure all her through books, through histories and fairy stories. This kind of imaginative escape has given her life some of its most bright and shining days. And now, as a grown woman, she’s desirous of early twentieth-century life’s real adventures, and a future with no thought of romance.

But sparks fly — both literal and figurative — on the night she meets Erwin Phipps, a chemist-turned-lieutenant, on his way home after the Armistice. Their chance encounter is brief but electric, one she’s not able to forget, as much as she tries. But is she brave enough to let love in?

Told in rich detail, this enchanting story, inspired by a real, early 20th-century correspondence, is about longing, lightning, and life’s most unexpected journeys. Perfect for fans of Lessons in Chemistry and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
