This blog follows the action of Elizabeth Grant's first novel, "An Independent Heart", from its start on January 29, 1814, to April 20, 1814, and the (somewhat premature) Peace Celebrations in London. Enjoy!

A companion to the novel, the blog provides pictures, music, poetry, and historical detail for you to enjoy alongside – from historical portraits to nature photographs, from Gluck to Scottish ballads, from Shakespeare to Scott, from the Peninsular War to the enclosure of the commons. New posts are released as the story continues . . .

And talking about music, don't miss the Independent Heart Soundtrack on YouTube, featuring all the pieces appearing in the story!

An Independent Heart is available in bookstores near you and at

If you can't make up your mind, read the first four chapters and see how you like the story. Please be sure to scroll down to "Older Posts" to get to Chapter 1 – rather confusingly, the chapters are listed in reverse order.
