5.0 out of 5 stars
Mark Twain and the editor who just happened to be his wife,
By Dr. Randall Fuller (Springfield, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mark & Livy (Paperback)
It's not simply that Willis provides readers with a new way of understanding Twain's life and work--it's that she does so with such an eloquent prose style. If on the surface Olivia Langdon Clemens appears to be the quintessential Victorian lady--frail, neuresthenic, domestic--her inner strength and unflappable judgement are skillfully uncovered by Willis, who in this work produces that rarest of things: a literary biography that is both literary and biographical.

A lively account and "must" reading for all Mark Twain fans.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mark & Livy (Paperback)
Mark and Livy represents the only full-length survey of the woman behind Mark Twain - wife Olivia Clemens, or Livy. Chapters consider her entire role in his life, from her position as wife and mother to her involvement in his writings and career. A lively account which will appeal to Twain fans and readers of biography alike.
