The daughter of Julia Ward Howe begins her memoir on the day news came of Henry James’s death in 1916, and from there looks back across a crowded life. She recalls the family home at Green Peace, her uncle Sam Ward, a stay at the White House, a journey to Santo Domingo, Newport society, painters and poets, years in England and Rome, and Boston in the eighties.
Gossipy, affectionate and full of famous names, a fine companion to her mother’s own Reminiscences. Download the free EPUB.
