Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Adam Nicolson, author of books on the Dome and on Windsor Castle, is no stranger to writing about lost causes, and in The Hated Wife: Carrie Kipling 1862-1939 he does a fair job of rescuing Rudyard Kipling's wife from the battering she has received from biographers of Britain's last great white poet. Nicolson recreates the tragedy that beset their marriage--the poet's love for her brother, the death of their children, Kipling's own drawn-out illness--and makes the case, if not for sympathy (he indulges in some rather biting criticism of Caroline Kipling himself), then at least for empathy. --Miles Taylor
Synopsis
Carrie Kipling was one of the most unpopular women of her generation. Henry James called her that hard, capable little person', Rudyard Kipling's parents detested her. And yet Carrie was in many ways misunderstood. Drawing on a vast archive of diaries and letters, Adam Nicolson cuts right to the heart of the Kiplings' dysfunctional marriage. For the first time here, Came is seen for the woman she was - not as the bullying tyrant intent on controlling her genius husband, but as a bastion of American courage in the face of serial family tragedy.
