I was interested in an updated biography of Thaxter, since no one has published one since Rosamund Thaxter's _Sandpiper_. This one gave me much-needed facts and background, but it's style was sometimes stilted. I can also do without some of the psychological hypotheses, but that's just a personal choice. For readers wanting an updated biography of Thaxter, this will certainly fit the bill.
A fascinating woman! I can't wait to read more of her poetry.
