After the Loss of a Spouse: From Henry VIII to Julia Child examines the bittersweet human condition of love and loss of 18 famous figures such as George Burns, Mary Todd Lincoln, Mark Twain, Coretta Scott King, and C.S. Lewis. How did they fall in love with their spouse and what did they do after their spouse died? Learn who was arrested, moved into their attic, confessed to infidelity, held birthday parties for cats, and coined the phrase, "Elementary, my dear Watson."
"How they handled their loss, their guilt, and in some cases a plan for a future without their spouses, makes fascinating reading for anyone with interest in both the history and the human side of well-known figures." David S. Martin, Professor/Dean Emeritus, Gallaudet University
Book includes questions for discussion, making it ideal for book clubs as well as individuals.
