"An astonishing book . . . Fitzgerald's greatest triumph." --New York Times Book Review

The Blue Flower is set in the age of Goethe, in the small towns and great universities of late eighteenth-century Germany. It tells the true story of Friedrich von Hardenberg, a passionate, impetuous student of philosophy who will later gain fame as the Romantic poet Novalis. Fritz seeks his father's permission to wed his "heart's heart," his "spirit's guide"--a plain, simple child named Sophie von K hn. It is an attachment that shocks his family and friends. 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.

"An extraordinary imagining . . . an original masterpiece." --Hermione Lee, Financial Times

Great Value and Good Quality RV Queen-sized Comforter Set
Color: Beige Striped, Size: Full
We needed a smaller comforter for our RV bed to limit overhang and this one seemed like a good fit and we were right. The print is conservative and modern in appearance. The feel and thickness are perfect for our typical use in a warm weather state that we camp in year round. Last trip out it got pretty cold overnight and we let our dog sleep on our bed. When we returned home we washed it for the first time. I held my breath to see what condition it would be in afterwards and it came out in great condition. While we were using it, we noticed the weight, texture and comfort were all where we needed it to be and therefore we would recommend this if you needed an RV Queen sized comforter without breaking the bank.

Great comforter for the price
Color: Beige Striped, Size: California King
Nice comforter for the price. It looks great on the bed, feels soft, and keeps us warm without being heavy. If you’re looking for a weighted or very thick comforter, this isn’t it, but for a lightweight option it does the job well. We have a split California King Sleep Number (two Twin XL bases) and I ordered the California King size. It fits, but the side drop is pretty short. Next time I would go with an oversized King or oversized California King for better coverage. Bonus: no weird chemical smell when I opened the package, which is always a win.
