A proposito di questo titolo

In this enchanting memoir, Elizabeth Wallace captures the serene beauty of Mark Twains time in Bermuda shortly before his passing in 1910. Having met in Bermuda in 1908, Wallace and Twain formed a close friendship that blossomed into heartfelt correspondence until just six weeks before his death. An academician notes, Wallace’s deep affection for Twain is evident in her writings, suggesting she aimed to celebrate his legacy. As a result, Happy Island presents a delightful narrative, blending breezy charm with occasional sentimentality, portraying Twain not just as a literary giant but as a fun and caring friend, while subtly hinting at the deeper themes of life and mortality. - Summary by John Greenman
