The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald




I really enjoyed this novel based on the based on the early life of Friedrich (Fritz) von Hardenberg (1772-1801), the German romantic poet and philosopher later known by the pen name of Novalis. 
However,It is a bleak novel; The plot is driven by Fritz Hardenberg falling in love with a girl of twelve when he was twenty-two and there is death!
