About this listen
San Francisco, 1915. As America teeters on the brink of world war, Charmian and her husband, famed novelist Jack London, wrestle with genius and desire, politics and marital competitiveness. Charmian longs to be viewed as an equal partner who put her own career on hold to support her husband, but Jack doesn't see it that way...until Charmian is pulled from the audience during a magic show by escape artist Harry Houdini, a man enmeshed in his own complicated marriage. Suddenly, charmed by the attention Houdini pays her and entranced by his sexual magnetism, Charmian's eyes open to a world of possibilities that could be her escape.
As Charmian grapples with her urge to explore the forbidden, Jack's increasingly reckless behavior threatens her dedication. Now torn between two of history's most mysterious and charismatic figures, she must find the courage to forge her own path, even as she fears the loss of everything she holds dear.

Why?
I feel like why am I listening to this when I could be listening to Jack London. Goes round and round the same theme.

A bit of a frustrating ride, with a mixed ending
The performance was riveting, the story fascinating, and the heartbreaks palpable all the way through.

Down the rabbit hole
This book has opened a rabbit hole for me. I knew very little about Jack London, aside from reading some of his novels.
Now I have to read about Harry Houdini, and I've started reading "The Log of the Snark!" Who knows what new vistas this may create.
