Two revealing views of Emily Dickinson

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reviews two new novels about Emily Dickinson: The Sister by Paola Kaufman and Afternoons with Emily by Rose MacMurray. The review notes that “[i]n a coincidence that the poet might have enjoyed — or might have found frightening — this spring brings forth two novels that view her story from different prisms. Sadly and disconcertingly, both authors are dead.” Kaufman, an Argentine writer, died suddenly in 2006 of a brain tumor. Rose MacMurray died in 1997 after a long career in education.
