Catherine Dickens: Outside the Magic Circle
Catherine was the wife of Charles Dickens and the mother of his ten children. After twenty-two years of marriage, Charles dumped her very publicly, accusing her of being an unfit mother and wife. Catherine was blameless; the truth was Charles' infatuation with eighteen year old Ellen Ternan, whom he later made his mistress. When Catherine was plucked out of her family, her youngest child was only six.
Catherine had to deal with the upheaval in her life, and the transition from respected wife of a famous man to discarded woman. The book is about how she copes up with the transition, and her effort to understand her marriage, and her life.
Catherine Dickens: Outside the Magic Circle was published in
2014 as an e book. Two paperback editions, Regular Print and Large Print have been released this month.
This is what amazon reviewers have to say about the book.
"The book is based on well researched facts and documents."
"It is written as if Catherine could have told the tale herself."
" I found it a fascinating tale, although I may never be able to watch 'A Christmas Carol' again with quite the same affection."
