A note for parents
The Vespertine is a historical fantasy romance set in 1889 Baltimore featuring a young woman with supernatural visions. The story centers on romance and personal agency, with themes of courage and self-determination that appeal to older teens. While there are some scary supernatural elements and mild romantic tension, the content is generally appropriate for mature middle grade readers and up, though the romantic subplot and complexity of the plot suggest ages 13+.
