Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the bestselling and highly acclaimed author of the âpage-turning taleâ (Library Journal, starred review) Mrs. Poe comes a fictionalized imagining of the personal life of Americaâs most iconic writer: Mark Twain.
In March of 1909, Mark Twain cheerfully blessed the wedding of his private secretary, Isabel V. Lyon, and his business manager, Ralph Ashcroft. One month later, he fired both. He proceeded to write a ferocious 429-page rant about the pair, calling Isabel âa liar, a forger, a thief, a hypocrite, a drunkard, a sneak, a humbug, a traitor, a conspirator, a filthy-minded and salacious slut pining for seduction.â Twain and his daughter, Clara Clemens, then slandered Isabel in the newspapers, erasing her nearly seven years of devoted service to their family. How did Lyon go from being the beloved secretary who ran Twainâs life to a woman he was determined to destroy?
In Twainâs End, Lynn Cullen âcleverly spins a mysterious, dark taleâ (Booklist) about the tangled relationships between Twain, Lyon, and Ashcroft, as well as the little-known love triangle between Helen Keller, her teacher Anne Sullivan Macy, and Anneâs husband, John Macy, which comes to light during their visit to Twainâs Connecticut home in 1909. Add to the party a furious Clara Clemens, smarting from her own failed love affair, and carefully kept veneers shatter.
Based on Isabel Lyonâs extant diary, Twainâs writings, letters, photographs, and events in Twainâs boyhood that may have altered his ability to love, Twainâs End triumphs as âa tender evocation of a vain, complicated manâs twilight years and a last chance at loveâ (People).
