Mr and Mrs Charles Dickens

Annie Elliot

£24.95

After 22 years of marriage, the novelist Charles Dickens banished his wife Kate from their family home and spun the press a tale to conceal his affair with an 18-year-old actress. A master storyteller, Dickens was able to shape the public record so completely that it has endured for almost two centuries. But now, Annie Elliot reclaims the truth of their relationship, observing its ups and downs but also noting true moments of warmth that allowed Kate to say, on her deathbed, "He loved me once." Tragic, poignant but with pangs of heartfelt humour.
