Patrick O'Brian

A Very Private Life

Nikolai Tolstoy
For 50 years, the novelist Patrick O’Brian lived with his wife Mary Tolstoy in southern France, writing his best-selling Aubrey-Maturin series of naval adventures. Based on personal experience as well as notebooks, letters and photographs, his stepson recreates that period and addresses the revelations about O’Brian’s true identity, including a previously abandoned family, that troubled the reclusive author’s last years.
