Review of 'The Private Life of H. P. Lovecraft' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Charming memoir by Lovecraft's fascinating and motivated former wife. Looking forward to reading more about Sonia later this year in Monica Wasserman's "Two Hearts That Beat as One".

This short work and her interactions with HPL reminded me greatly of Novalyne Price Ellis's accounts of HER relationship with HPL's pal Robert E. Howard in "One Who Walked Alone". There's probably a good play in there of the two women meeting over drinks and chatting about the difficult men in their lives.
