Thanks for joining me for Mailbox Monday! MM was created by Marcia, who graciously hosted it for a long, long time, before turning it into a touring event. Mailbox Monday has now returned to its permanent home where you can link to your MM post.
I got one book last week, and it sounds very interesting:
Alice in Bed by Judith Hooper. This historical novel tells the story of Alice James, the invalid sister of novelist Henry James and philosopher William James. No one knows why Alice is an invalid, but after taking London by storm, she took to her bed with a mysterious illness.
Most of the book is told through the siblings' letters, recounting the unusual childhood of the James children, family travels, discussions of Boston's intellectual elite, and their contemporary transatlantic gossip.
Alice in Bed is already generating praise and I look froward to reading it! Read the Publisher's Weekly review of Alice in Bed.
