[mp_quote quote_content=”The Woman Who Was Chesterton is a love story. But it is also a detective story. And best of all, it is a true story, told here for the the first time. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a romantic, a writer of detective tales, and a teller of the truth. His own story and the stories he told are becoming better and better known. But what has remained unknown is the story of the most important person in his life: his wife Frances Chesterton. It is quite likely that as more is discovered about Frances, more biographies will be written of her, and they will be even more complete. But they will all come back to this one.” mp_style_classes=”landing-quote” margin=”none,none,15,15″]

“With The Woman Who Was Chesterton, biographer Nancy Brown offers us a compelling new consideration of one of the key ingredients in the genius of G.K. Chesterton: his wife, Frances. A true talent and a steadfast support, Frances—as introduced by Brown—deserves to be known, emulated and admired. Whether or not you’re a Chesterton fan, this book will capture your attention and leave you inspired!”
