This review is from: A Wind Is Rising: The Correspondence of Agnes Boulton and Eugene O'Neill (Hardcover)

The letters sent between O'Neill and his second wife reveal a much more personal view of life in the spotlight. It exposes the personal grit and scandal of their relationship as well as revealing a more accurate picture of Agnes Boulton. The detailed yet brief background of their lives lends greater understanding to the personal contents of the letters. Most of all, it offers a greater appreciation for the human heart when pulled between love for a companion and a passion for their work. Put down the fiction and pick up this book about a real relationship full of fight and love that engulfs and excites even the simplest parts of a mediocre life! A must read for O'Neill fans and newcomers alike!
