The Courtship of Olivia Langdon and Mark Twain door Susan K. Harris
An interesting window into the early private lives of Samuel Clemens and Olivia Langdon which can't quite show very much about Olivia but does show that Samuel Clemens in pursuit of a goal was more manipulative than honest. Whether he was or was not able to interpret a woman's view is not definitively proved by this book, but strongly suggested. In any event it is a portrait of American lives and intellectual pursuits that are often left out of evaluations of the 'Victorian' US.
