Reviews
On Oct 6 2010, Irishgirl said:
A hefty tome at 600-plus pages, but not daunting to anyone fascinated by Emily Dickinson. I found it a bit slow going at first, as the author spends many pages exploring the poet's ancestors and family, especially her father. While these insights shed a welcome light, I found myself anxious for the focus to shift to Emily herself. In the end, Habegger offers a rounded picture of both her genius and her eccentricities, yet somehow leaves the reader vaguely dissatisfied.
