"Will come to be seen as one of the crucial women's biographies because of its vivid dramatization of the process by which women have been written out of history and have been forced to deny their own experiences". For those who enjoyed "Samuel Pepys": "The Unequalled Self" and "Charles Dickens: A Life" "The Invisible Woman" is invaluable reading for lovers of Charles Dickens, and for readers of biography everywhere. Tomalin's multi-award-winning story of the life of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens is a remarkable work of biography and historical revisionism that returns the neglected actress to her rightful place in history as well as providing a compelling and truthful portrait of the great Victorian novelist. Her names, dates, family and experiences very nearly disappeared from the record for good." (Claire). "This is the story of someone who - almost - wasn't there who vanished into thin air. Winner of the NCR Book Award, the Hawthornden Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. ![]() "The Invisible Woman" by Claire Tomalin is the acclaimed story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens. ![]()
