In this literary detective story,Francesca Wade delves into the creation of the Stein myth. Stein was someone who might be found posing for Picasso, playing host to Matisse and Hemmingway, or racing around the French countryside with her enigmatic partner, Alice B. Toklas, yet wanted to be known for her work not her personality. Using never-before-seen material, Wade uncovers Gertrude Stein as she was when nobody was watching: captivating, complex and human.
