I am surprised that she died of heart failure at age 62. I always imagined her living a longer life, enjoying the children and grandchildren. Anna’s life might be an interesting study, so in the shadow and so in awe, it seems,
of her famous sister, but the rock that held the family together, quietly.
Agreed. I always enjoy reading her journals and letters – they are the most revealing.
