Gray on Bell

Charlotte Gray pleased typically Canadian reader's sensibilities by not only writing about the huge legacy of Alexander Graham Bell but also engaged readers with a charming love story of his relationship with his wife, Mabel Hubbard Bell. Seemingly, American publishers wanted only topical books on 'sex', 'thin French women', 'Iraq' and 'George W. Bush'. Oh well. Gray was in Ottawa September 14th for the Canadian launch of her latest biography Reluctant Genius: The Passionate Life and Inventive Mind of Alexander Graham Bell.
