Enlightenment by Sarah Perry is longlisted for the Booker Prize 2024. It is a captivating story of love and astronomy, unfolding over twenty years through the lives of two improbable best friends.

Thomas Hart and Grace Macaulay have spent their entire lives in the small Essex town of Aldleigh. Despite being separated in age by three decades, they are kindred spirits, caught between their religious beliefs and their yearning to explore the world. However, their friendship faces challenges with the arrival of love.

Over the following twenty years, Thomas and Grace find their lives drawn back into each other's orbit. A profound narrative of passion and scientific adventure emerges, along with the unveiling of Aldleigh’s unique mysteries.
