Beryl Bainbridge's historical fictional account of the last 20 years of Samuel Johnson's life will appeal especially to readers who have some background of the subject, but it won't shut out those who don't.
Pretty good story.. but the writing style irked me.
I had a rough time with this one though I very much like this author's other novels.
Loved this book! Fun to get this "personal" view of the famous characters, and the fictional character of Queenie was a brilliant creation. A Bainbridge triumph.
