That’s what I read too. And that she kept escaping from the convent school where she lived. A pretty girl who could get “in trouble” as they called it back then.
As an interesting historical factoid Lyndon Johnson’s sister was also a - shall we say - a loose cannon - who got up to some weird stuff in Austin. I forget all the details but there’s some interesting theories out there regarding Mac Wallace et al.
I don’t really know much about it, except for that, and that Joe did this while Rose was away on a trip. She had to have known what kind of man he was, after being married for years, but divorce was out of the question, and I suppose keeping up appearances and putting a brave face on it was the rule of the day and their social status. I did read that when Rose found out, she moved into another bedroom and never slept with him again, but who knows if that’s true?
Thanks for the link. I noticed the upside down image, too. Halfway believe it’s no accident, but that your suspicion about Amaz** is correct.
I did buy the hardcover. Seems odd there’s no Kindle version.
