Helen Keller in Love: A Novel About the Romance of a Beloved American Icon by Rosie Sultan

On June 15, 2012, in Book Reviews, Fiction, by Editor

Helen Keller has long been a towering figure in the pantheon of world heroines. Yet the enduring portrait of her in the popular imagination is The Miracle Worker, which ends when Helen is seven years old. Richly textured and deeply sympathetic, Sultan’s highly inventive telling of a story Keller herself would not tell is both a captivating romance and a rare glimpse into the mind and heart of an inspirational figure.
