It is a large book, around 500 pages and I was surprised how quickly I read it. I bought it on Ebay as I had searched for Forster's bio of Daphne DuMaurier and this book popped up . I love biographies and, thought the premise of the book so interesting I bought it.
We first meet Wilson in her teens when she is on here way to the Barrett household, unhappy and afraid.. She and Elizabeth (an invalid) bond and they stay together on and off for years. They travel back and forth to Italy, France and other parts of Europe. Wilson appears to be a true mother to Elizabeths child and she had 2 of her own. Her own marriage to an Italian is a story unto itself. I think the Barretts mistreat her, but she goes on and is truely a brave and self- sufficient woman.
Extremely well-written, I recommend it highly.
