Brenda Maddoxin teos paljastaa Nora Joycen elämän monipuolisemman puolen, näyttäen hänet intohimoisena, omistautuneena ja tärkeänä vaikuttajana James Joycen rinnalla. Tämä kiehtova elämäkerta tarjoaa uutta näkökulmaa Noraan, joka on usein jäänyt miehensä varjoon kirjallisuuden historiassa.
Nora Joyce is commonly portrayed by the literary world as an illiterate, coarse chambermaid and no match for her husband's genius. This new and enthralling biography is the first full study of Nora's life before, with, and after James Joyce. Here she is revealed as devoted, passionate, eloquent, irreverent, long-suffering and a powerful influence upon her difficult and demanding husband.
In releasing Nora from the world of academic footnotes, Brenda Maddox has produced both a fine biography of a complex woman and a work which will inform and interest all Joyce readers and scholars.
'One of the finest biographies to have appeared for some years.'
Irish Independent
'Nora is a brilliant biography that radically alters our understanding. With all respect for Ellman's monumental work, Maddox's biography of Joyce's wife can now be recommended as the first to read about Joyce himself.'
