Book Review of Under the Wide and Starry Sky

After reading this and Loving Frank, i've become a Nancy Horan fan. She thoroughly does her research, then proceeds to make her characters exceedingly human. Famous people are multi-faceted and not so one dimensional as they are often portrayed. The women in her books are as strong (and flawed) as the men they loved. Sometimes I felt both books got a little bogged down in the details, but certainly not enough to deter me from reading every word. An interesting, informative, and enjoyable book.
