Publisher's Summary
A heartbreakingly gorgeous novel based on the true story of two girls who fall secretly, deeply and dangerously in love at boarding school in nineteenth century York, from the bestselling author of Room and The Wonder
Drawing on years of investigation and Anne Lister’s five-million-word secret journal, Learned by Heart is the long-buried love story of Eliza Raine, an orphan heiress banished from India to England at age six, and Anne Lister, a brilliant, troublesome tomboy, who meet at the Manor School for Young Ladies in York in 1805 when they are both fourteen.
Emotionally intense, psychologically compelling and deeply researched, Learned by Heart is an extraordinary work of fiction by one of the world’s greatest storytellers. Full of passion and heartbreak, the tangled lives of Anne Lister and Eliza Raine form a love story for the ages.

Donoghue
There is no one like Donoghue to lay bare childhood pain without being cliche or creepy. Listened straight through. Learned by Heart is that good

Heartbreaking! Slow then good.
This one could have been a little faster in the beginning, but the story is interesting and painful. Great work painting the picture of a time past.

Slow
This story went on and on. Granted, beautifully written, but just became repetitive over time.
