I am sure I have talked about this book here before, I am even more sure that I've recommended it. It was a book that took me by surprise. It was one that I didn't intend to read but was glad I started it.
It's suspenseful, it's dramatic and it's even a little romantic. The description of the city at the time (late 1800's) was magnetic. The way you feel towards the main character is electrifying. You will probably hate the female lead at times, and you'll despise Edgar Allen Poe at times as well. You'll be twisted up about Mrs. Poe.
Do you like her? Do you hate her? These are all things I can remember feeling. I don't really remember enough to give my own synopsis on the book, but then that's what goodreads is for isn't it?
The author of this book just so happens to spell her name the same way I spell mine.

She also has a book about Mark Twain.

@thislittlepennyearns I love the genre as well. I tend to read more books based between 1700-1930 but I've read before and after that era. I look forward to your discussions on it.

The same author has also done a book on Twain. Same concept of this one, just Twain. I will probably read that at some point as well.
I hope you enjoy this one when you pick up a copy.

@Shavkat There is a lot of interesting things to be found in history.

It isn't just about the romance. It's about a woman poet trying to make it in a male dominated field as well. There is a lot of very good descriptions of how New York would have looked in the late 1800's as well.

It's been around for a few years. I am pretty sure I came across it on a book subscription site.
