In 1873 Bath, a grieving widow with a silenced voice takes a room in a fading townhouse-only to find her new lodger is a botanical illustrator with secrets of her own.
Eleanor Hartwell has spent years playing music for others, never for herself. Rosalind Thorne draws dying flowers with scientific precision, but hides a heart that refuses to be tamed.
As they share a piano, a garden, and quiet moments charged with unspoken longing, their careful propriety gives way to stolen glances, trembling touches, and a love that blooms in the stillness between words.
But in a world that criminalizes desire between women, even the smallest act of tenderness is an act of courage. And when whispers turn to threats, they must choose: safety in silence, or ruin in truth.
The Stillness Between Us is a slow-burn sapphic historical romance for readers who crave emotional depth, sensual intimacy without explicit scenes, and a love story that feels both achingly real and defiantly hopeful.
Perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, Tipping the Velvet, and gentle, character-driven historical fiction.
Clara Bellweather is a writer of historical fiction who believes the quietest hearts often hold the fiercest loves. Born in the West Country and educated in Edinburgh, she now lives in a cottage overlooking the Cornish coast, where she tends a garden of foxgloves and honeysuckle, and writes stories about women who choose each other in a world that demands silence. The Stillness Between Us was her debut novel.
