**Named a Top 10 Historical Fiction Book of 2025 by the New York Times Book Review Named a Best Book of the Year by Esquire, Kirkus, and the Chicago Tribune Biblioracle Named a Best Historical Fiction Book and Best Audio Book of the Year by Bookpage A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice “Kane’s remarkable excavation of this interlude, including real letters from Valpy, drips with juicy conflict and detail.” —Los Angeles Times “A fable with heart and a searching investigation into what makes a marriage endure.” —Boston Globe “A marvel of sharp concision.” —Wall Street Journal “A daring book . . . fresh and beautiful.” —Chicago Tribune The story acclaimed English author Penelope Fitzgerald never wrote, of her real-life journey to Mexico with her son in search of a much-needed inheritance, by Jessica Francis Kane, bestselling author of Rules for Visiting** Penelope Fitzgerald’s charming husband is a struggling alcoholic, the London literary magazine they edit together is on the brink of bankruptcy, and she is pregnant with their third child. When she receives a mysterious letter dangling the possibility of an inheritance, Penelope sees a creative and practical lifeline that might save them. Based on Fitzgerald’s momentous 1952 trip to northern Mexico before she was famous, Jessica Francis Kane’s brilliantly imagined Fonseca is both a treasure hunt and a love story. Blending history, biography, and fiction, Kane has created an enthralling world while telling a story about how far someone might go in pursuit of a dream. With heart, humor, and a deep understanding of her subject that has characterized the range of her work her whole career, Kane (whose work “could have been written by Jane Austen’s great great-great-granddaughter” —Oprah Daily) has written much more than an homage: Fonseca is an enthralling world of its own as well as a stunning fictionalization of a season in Fitzgerald’s life.
