    About A Cloud of Outrageous Blue

    For fans of Fever 1793 comes the story of a young woman paving her own path and falling in love during the Great Plague of 1348, from the award-winning creator of What the Night Sings.

    Edyth grew up in a quiet village with a loving family, before losing everything she holds dear in the blink of an eye. Suddenly sent to live in a priory and work with ancient texts, Edyth must come to terms with her new life and the gifts she discovers in herself. But outside the priory, something much worse is coming. With the reappearance of a boy from her past and the ominous Great Plague creeping closer and closer to the priory, it will be up to Edyth to rise above it all and save herself.

    From the award-winning author-illustrator of What the Night Sings comes a new journey of self-discovery and love in the most uncertain times.

    Praise

    “Beautifully written, richly imaginative, and graced with fully realized characters. . . . A feast for fans of historical fiction with a magic twist.” —Booklist, starred review

    “Stamper’s dark and well-researched historical tale moves swiftly, incorporating elements of the miraculous and affectingly punctuated with elegant watercolor illustrations in hues that recall illuminated texts.” —Publishers Weekly

    “Edyth’s narration builds a rich picture of the Middle Ages, both in the beauty of the ink and the illuminating she eventually works on and the merciless reality of the bubonic plague, and her synesthesia gives a striking elegance to her descriptions.” —The Bulletin

    “The impression that will linger in the minds of those who read this expansive, beautifully crafted novel is the triumph of empathy above all.” —Bookpage
