I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, Mrs Poe, written by Lynn Cullen.
Set in New York City in the mid 1800s, the story is a twisted tale about life and love. A perfect midday drama. Additionally, the history of the era caused me to do further research about Blackwell's Island (now Roosevelt Island), and kissing bridges. It is hard to believe that New York was once farm land and considered country wilds, north of what is now the village.
In addition to exploring NYC in its infancy, it was fascinating to learn more about Poe, or the author's interpretation of him.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and recommend this read.
