Talk Sweetly to Me is the story of a womanizing journalist named Stephen and his mathematical genus neighbor Rose. When I say Rose is a genius, I mean exactly that. She works as a human computer for her boss and has a love of astronomy during a time when it is still very much a man's world. Oh, and did I mention that she is also a black woman living in 1882? Stephen is a typical rake, who loves women and they love him back. He's attracted to Rose, her intelligence and sweet demeanor. In his efforts to seduce her, Stephen manages to get Rose to act as a tutor (with a clueless chaperon in tow of course). Stephen is Irish Catholic and he a white man, which adds to her hesitancy regarding interaction between them considering the time period that they live in.
