Oh, Fanny.

Fanny Stevenson endured a marriage of hardship and a philandering husband. Determined to study art, she took the brave step to leave the U.S. with her children in tow. Meeting Robert Louis Stevenson at an artist colony, she fell in love head over heels. They had an amazing life together.

I like reading biographies to fill in the details so often left out in the fleeting memory of fame.

Great book about a woman before her time.
