Afternoon Readers
The Movement of Stars
by Amy Brill
Tuesday, Sept. 16, 1:00 p.m.
It is 1845, and Hannah Gardner Price has lived all twenty-four years of
her life according to the principles of the Nantucket Quaker community
in which she was raised, where simplicity and restraint are valued above
all, and a woman’s path is expected to lead to marriage and motherhood.
But up on the rooftop each night, Hannah pursues a very different—and
elusive—goal: discovering a comet and thereby winning a gold medal
awarded by the King of Denmark, something unheard of for a woman.
