Part memoir and part joyful romp through the fields of imagination, the story behind a beloved pseudonymous Twitter account reveals how a writer deep in grief rebuilt a life worth living.

Becoming Duchess Goldblatt is two stories: that of the reclusive real-life writer who created a fictional character out of loneliness and thin air, and that of the magical Duchess Goldblatt herself, a bright light in the darkness of social media. Fans around the world are drawn to Her Grace’s voice, her wit, her life-affirming love for all humanity, and the fun and friendship of the community that’s sprung up around her.

@DuchessGoldblat (81 year-old literary icon, author of An Axe to Grind) brought people together in her name: in bookstores, museums, concerts, and coffee shops, and along the way, brought real friends home—foremost among them, Lyle Lovett.

Eu peguei esse livro sem expectativa nenhuma, só para preencher um desafio da maratona literária que estou participando, e talvez justamente por não esperar nada é que eu gostei tanto. Peguei o livro sem nem saber sobre o que era, mas achei fenomenal, me identifiquei muito com a autora e foi um achado ótimo. Para quem gostou de "Talvez você deva conversar com alguém", esse livro é uma recomendação óbvia
