    About this ebook

    Married to one of the most famous writers of the Victorian era, the life of Catherine Dickens is explored in an intriguing biographical novel "So if I was on the edge of reason, who was to blame? I for not disciplining my boisterous thoughts, or my husband for pushing me beyond the limits of what any woman should have to bear?" Set against the backdrop of 19th Century London, Catherine Dickens recounts her own story of her marriage to a restless, mercurial husband. With a sharp sense of time and place, Catherine brings to life a series of well-known Victorians, including William Thackeray, Wilkie Collins and the colorful Count D'Orsay.
