mishale1 's review for:
Mrs. Houdini
by Victoria Kelly
I've always been interested in Houdini so this book appealed to me.
This is the fictional story of Bess Houdini.
Barely out of high school, she met Harry.
Choices for women at the time usually included becoming a nun or becoming a wife.
When Harry proposes on their first date, Bess takes a big leap of faith and marries him.
They led a very exciting life. Bess became his partner in his magic acts and he became immensely famous.
As he became more of a name, his acts became more solo acts.
Bess started feeling unimportant.
She also worried about some of their acts being an offense to God. She feared they may be cursed.
By the time Harry died he had become obsessed with trying to reach the realm beyond death. He was never able to reach his deceased mother and despite all of his acts faking seances there was a point where he ached for it to be possible.
If connecting from beyond the grave was possible,Harry promised Bess he would reach her.
This was an interesting take on their relationship and Bess' life after Harry passed away.
