What a fascinating woman. And another bad mother to go along with Queen Victoria who I'm also reading about.

Wow! The Panther and the Cougar are definitely a shocking pair! I wanted to read some of Rebecca's fiction next and I am at the point where the biographer is actually summarizing the books to show connections I her real life ! This ind of is like reading spoilers ! The summaries are a bit confusing without having read the novels ! I do love the accounts of Rebecca's witty criticism!

Anthony and Kitty split. Just reading about this family is exhausting.

Seems as though Rebecca's non-fiction is really quite something. Truman Capote claimed she invented the non-fiction novel. Meanwhile Anthony wants to write a biography of HG Wells in which he is explicit that HG was his father. Needless to say Rebecca is not too keen.

Rebecca's portrait of William Joyce aka Lord Haw Haw, in The Meaning of Treason (her study of the post-war treason trials), is, according to Rollyson, The single best biography she was ever to write, a brilliantly perceptive study of a disaffected spirit.

Rebecca wishes that Anthony was dead. Kitty remembered Rebecca screaming insults at her. What a terrible parent she was.

This is really two books in one: an in depth look at Rebecca's work, and also a detailed account of Rebecca's life. I am enjoying the story of her life much more than the detailed analysis of every book she ever wrote.
