Flamingo, 1995. Paperback. Pp: 551. The Blue Flower is set in the age of Goethe, in the small towns and great universities of late eighteenth-century Germany.

Their brilliant young Fritz, betrothed to a twelve-year-old dullard? How can this be? The irrationality of love, the transfiguration of the commonplace, the clarity of purpose that comes with knowing one`s own fate"these are the themes of this beguiling novel, themes treated with a mix of wit, grace, and mischievous humor unique to the art of Penelope Fitzgerald.
