Although Dante Gabriel Rossetti vacillated between poetry and painting as his chief interest in life, he often succeeded in each of the arts; and despite his disclaimers, the one art often influenced the perception of the other. Even though the poems do not necessarily «see» like pictures nor the paintings «read» like poems, a careful study of Rossetti's work in both media reveals subtle narrative qualities to the lines of drawings and paintings, and painter-perception of images that appear in the poems. The interrelationship was not conscious or deliberate on Rossetti's part, but the lack of perspective in many paintings implies a poetic narrative, and the condensed style of the poems gives the «instantaneous» effect of a picture.

Esta novela presenta una historia de carácter autobiográfico donde asistimos a la génesis de las preocupaciones e intereses que formalizaron la poesía de Christina Rossetti. A través del relato de la vida cotidiana nos dibuja el Londres victoriano, los círculos sociales, las provincias y las amistades que fundamentaron ese sufrimiento e inquietud que la llevó a la religiosidad. Tal como Dante Gabriel Rossetti, poeta y pintor prerrafaelista, enterró sus poemas manuscritos junto a su mujer para exhumarlos y publicarlos más tarde, en 1870, Maude, novela inédita escrita por su hermana, Christina Rossetti en 1850, e inspiración de esa acción romántica, fue desenterrada del olvido tras su muerte por su otro hermano, W. Michael Rossetti, en 1897.
