I do remember being confused and having to decide what I thought really happened. This one was definitely open to interpretation, and I never found anything online that stated the authors intent. Now you have me curious, so I'll reread it sometime during the Halloween season. Thanks for reminding me...and thanks for visiting my blog, too.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-40690123086776347692011-09-27T10:10:23.139-04:002011-09-27T10:10:23.139-04:00I just read this book and loved it until the end. ...I just read this book and loved it until the end.

Judging from the index of Lee's bio, James is a prominent figure in the book - nearly a full page of index references. I don't know of any book that is devoted solely to their relationship.

When we visited The Mount last summer, I bought her biography by Hermione Lee (and I hope to read it soon).JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-32341875869482466652009-05-05T16:53:00.000-04:002009-05-05T16:53:00.000-04:00This sounds like a good one.
