Eileen McKenney, accidental muse and literary heroine, fled Cleveland in search of romance and adventure, inspiring her sister’s humorous stories, \u003cem\u003eMy Sister Eileen\u003c\/em\u003e, which led to stage, film, and television adaptations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil their tragic deaths in 1940, husband and wife were intimate with many of the literary, theatrical, and movie notables of the era, and in this dual biography, they provide a one-of-a-kind lens into a world that continues to capture artists’ imaginations. With trenchant insight and erudite charm, acclaimed biographer Marion Meade restores the star-crossed lovers to their rightful places in the rich cultural tapestry of interwar America and paints a lively tableau of one of the country’s most engrossing eras.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374031110399,"sku":"9780547386386","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780547386386_s600x595.jpg?v=1780335156","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780547386386","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
