"Under The Wide and Starry Sky" by Nancy Horan. ****


  • Stewart Place Book Club
  • US author
  • Originally published in 2013
  • Review: Much like Horan's debut novel, "Loving Frank", this novel is about a strong woman behind a famous man, in this case, Robert Louis Stevenson.  Given that, and the fact that this is a fictional biography, somewhat questionable in and if itself, I learned a lot about both husband and wife and enjoyed the book very much.  They lived in a different era, that in which a son of a gentleman could wander the planet throughout his adulthood.  Nonetheless,  marriage is marriage, and theirs was quite fascinating.
