Description
Dickinson after her death: a novel about the women who brought Emily Dickinson's poems to light. When Emily Dickinson passed away, she left behind hundreds of texts scribbled on scraps of paper. Her sister Lavinia, mistress Mabel Loomis Todd, and wife Susan Gilbert Dickinson were tasked with making sense of these fragments.
Through their efforts, they created a book that would change American literature. Dominique Fortier's novel explores the power of books to shape our lives and the importance of literature in times of grief and struggle.
This is a story about the birth of a book, years after its author's death, and the women who brought Emily Dickinson's poetry to life.
