“Russell had a privileged glimpse into the life-style of the publicity-shy literary couple. . . . [She] offers many vignettes that will charm White aficionados.” ―Library Journal
Isabel Russell gives readers a portrait, both humorous and touching, of one of the great literary marriages of our time and of two people whose love for one another and their work burned as brightly in their old age as it did in their youth."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From Library Journal
As personal secretary to E.B. and Katharine White for eight years, Russell had a privileged glimpse into the lifestyle of the publicity-shy literary couple. In fact, the Whites's literary achievements form only the outline of this narrative, compiled from Russell's diary of daily events on the Whites's North Brooklin, Maine, farm. Russell offers many vignettes that will charm White aficionados. But some readers may find unsavory her emphasis on Katharine's illness, which at times caused her to be confused and incoherent. For being unable to endure Katharine's perverse temperament, Russell apologizes. Yet she is unable to offer the "affectionate" portrait of the lady that she bestows upon the gentleman. Sandra Dayton, Homer Community Lib., Ill.
