Written in 1882, Two on a Tower follows the story of Lady Constantine, a respected member of the community who threatens to break all of the rules of society and social expectations by falling in love with Swithin St Cleeve, a man who is not only her inferior in social standing, but also her inferior in age. Swithin is a budding astronomer, and much of the backdrop to this story revolves around themes of the galaxy and astronomy. – The Bookish Bundle
