Isabel Van Kleek Lyon was Mark Twain’s personal assistant, social secretary, and confidante during the last years of his life. But she was distrusted by Twain’s daughters, who called her manipulative and forced their father to fire her. Trombley’s account of the Lyon-Twain relationship is the first to draw on the complete archives of Lyon’s papers.
