The narrative centers on Marie Powell, who marries the renowned poet John Milton at just sixteen, set against the backdrop of the English Civil War. Their union, marked by stark ideological differences—her Royalist views clash with his Parliamentarian beliefs—creates a tumultuous relationship. Through Marie's poignant journals, the story unfolds as a critique of Milton's literary ambition and masculinity. It also captures the intense historical context of 1640s England, highlighting themes of tyranny versus freedom amidst a nation in turmoil.
