Mark Twain's Other Woman: The Hidden Story of His Final Years
by Laura Skandera Trombley

Having recently read a terrific book on Mark Twain (reviewed in Book-a-holics) this book caught my eye and I thought it would be interesting. Well, it was for the first chapter for Twain's early life and how he met Isabel Lyon who would become his secretary and manager of his household. I didn't actually finish the first chapter. It became long and meandering and boring.
On the back flap, it says that biographers have deliberately omitted the mere mention of Isabel Lyon, which is just not true.
It also says the book is riveting. Another lie.
Don't even bother reading this ho-hum tale.
