Secrets have a way of being found out.
Uncovering the hidden secrets of her literary heroes was the last thing Jane expected when she began her PhD research on T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. But as she delves deeper into the prestigious universities and dusty manuscript libraries, she discovers a shocking truth: her own family may have been involved in a scandalous affair with another titan of American Modernism, William Carlos Williams.
Guided by her unwavering intuition and the support of a few exceptional mentors, Jane's quest for the truth takes her on a journey spanning continents and decades, navigating the treacherous waters of academic politics along the way. But as she unearths the buried secrets of her ancestors, she realizes that sometimes, the truth we seek lies hidden within the very words that have shaped our world.
For fans of historical fiction and literary mysteries, The Roots That Clutch is a hauntingly true story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
