Lambda Literary Award-finalist L.A. Fields returns to the life of Mrs. Watson in her newest collection of historical tales. In the halcyon days between WWI and WWII, Sherlock Holmes is a frequent presence in the lives of the Watsons. Mrs. Watson is a unique wit and astute observer of the Great Detective. While she's mindful of the true nature of the relationship between her husband and Holmes, Mrs. Watson is also along for the ride. A group trip to Australia occasions "The Nightmare Pygmalion," an ironic twist on Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. A visit to London to hear the symphony has Holmes describing the unhappy marriage of composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky in the epistolary story "The Pathétique Symphony." For Halloween, there is "Hell-Home," which reveals the secrets in Bram Stoker's closet. For Christmas, a former patient of Dr. Watson's from Afghanistan, Colonel Hayter-known by her husband's readers as the man from "The Adventure of the Reigate Squire"-returns many years later with somber news.

Johanna DC
3.0 out of 5 stars Mrs. Watson Learns Queer History from Sherlock Holmes
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
Each of the eight stories contained here, told through diary entries covering 1921-1939, have -- in addition to the unnamed Mrs. Watson making slightly bitter comments about Holmes taking her husband's attention -- biographical details about a notable queer person. That gives the otherwise wandering notes and moments some structure. (If you read Fields' previous book, Mrs. Watson seems to have come to better terms with the need to share Watson with Holmes, so the nasty tone of the previous has mellowed.)

We meet Mrs. Watson’s cousin, who is being adopted by her friend George (short for Georgina) to legalize their Boston marriage, in my favorite of the chapters. Others include a visit to London to stay at the Savoy, which spurs stories of Tchaikovsky. Walt Whitman’s relationship with his biographer Horace Traubel anchors a Christmas visit, while a Halloween party brings both a put-down for the local busybody and stories of Bram Stoker’s fascination with Whitman.

The book somewhat peters out, with weaker material at the end, but I found this a fascinating way to learn details about queer creators, told in Holmes' distinctively waspish voice. Note that if you're looking for Holmes/Watson content, there's nearly none of the two of them together, as the book is told from Mrs. Watson's perspective.
