About this item
An Indie Next Pick Defined by their creative impulses, fierce independence, and sometimes reckless decisions, the fascinating characters in this new collection include Standard Oil heiress Joe Carstairs, aviator and writer Beryl Markham, Byron?s illegitimate daughter, Oscar Wilde?s niece, Edna St. Vincent Millay?s sister, and James Joyce?s daughter. Born in proximity to the spotlight, through Mayhew Bergman?s stunning imagination they receive the attention they deserve.
About the Author
Ten years ago, I never thought I'd live on a farm in Vermont, but here I am, with chickens, a veterinarian husband, two hard-charging daughters, too many dogs, and a worn in pair of muck boots. I still don't really know how to ski. Things I like: Prince, George Michael, Stevie Nicks, yoga, vegetarian food, biographies about passionate women, short stories, beautiful sentences.
