- Summary:
- An "authorized biography" of a California entrepreneur has just been published, but James Horton is scarcely recognizable to those who knew him. Walter Doane, novelist and longtime friend of the Horton family, is persuaded to set down his own reminiscences of Horton and, most notably, Christine Winton, his mistress. It is from Doane's perspective that this fascinating story unfolds. Lewis's charming novel brings to life the lore of the families and the city of San Francisco from the 1850s to the 1940s.
