- About My Library
- It's vast and messy. My husband and I have thousands of books including separate sections for: biography, books by John McPhee; books by homeless people; books by Willa Cather; books about banjos; books about salt; books my brother gave me; books about childbirth and books by Allan Gurganus. And also I have a golem (as in the monster from Prague) collection.
- About Me
- My name is Erica Eisdorfer and I am the author of THE WET NURSE'S TALE, a novel set in Britain in the middle of the 19th century, with a plain-faced, too-big, illiterate servant girl as its protagonist. When Susan becomes pregnant out of wedlock, her father forces her out to wet nurse, whereupon her baby dies for want of her. Susan vows to avoid this unfortunate end when she again finds herself with child and embarks on a harrowing journey of rescue. I loved the research necessary for this book: wet nursing; the life of the Victorian servant; snake-hunting; the maltreatment of gypsies; the laundry of a manor house; how long it took to get from Leeds to London by public coach, etc.
