The Five of Hearts by Patricia O'toole

The Five of Hearts, who first gathered in Washington in the Gilded Age, included Henry Adams, historian and scion of America's first political dynasty; his wife, Clover, gifted photographer and tragic victim of depression; John Hay, ambassador and secretary of state; his wife, Clara, a Midwestern heiress; and Clarence King, pioneering geologist, entrepreneur, and man of mystery. They knew every president from Abraham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt and befriended Henry James, Mark Twain, Edith Wharton, and a host of other illustrious figures on both sides of the Atlantic.

Patricia O'Toole is the author of five novels, including The Moralist: Woodrow Wilson and the World He Created, When Trumpets Call: Theodore Roosevelt After the White House, and The Five of Hearts: An Intimate Portrait of Henry Adams and His Companions, which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, and a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist. She lives in Camden, Maine, and is a former professor at Columbia University's School of the Arts and a fellow of the Society of American Historians.
