Book Synopsis
Theodora Bosanquet was Henry James's secretary from 1907 until his death in 1916, one of the most significant periods of his long writing career. This work recounts Bosanquet's association with James and provides a commentary on James's milieu, preferences, and attitudes, as well as on his process of writing and revision.

Trade Review
Everything that Miss Bosanquet wrote seems to me to be writerly: she's savvy, she's snappy, and there's usually a touch of sass... how one would like to have one more book by this 'salty, hearty' lady who, when slim and young, had worked so hard to keep 'a lonely old artist man - Henry James - from being interrupted.' - Larry McMurtry, New York Review of Books
