Her parents warned Elizabeth that Alexander Blackwell would not make a dependable husband, and only after eloping with him did she learn they may have been right. After their marriage, the couple finds lodgings in London. Alexander looks for work while Elizabeth learns engraving. Before long, though, Alexander is in the Marshalsea, the notorious debtors' prison, and she is left to fend for herself. 'The Curious Life of Elizabeth Blackwell' is a historical novel based on the life of an eighteenth-century woman who endured loss and betrayal but dared to pursue her dreams.
