Born of illustrious New England stock, Rachel Field was a National Book Award–winning novelist, a Newbery Medal–winning children’s writer, a poet, playwright, and rising Hollywood success in the early twentieth century. Her light was abruptly extinguished at the age of forty-seven, when she died at the pinnacle of her personal happiness and professional acclaim. Fifty years later, Robin Clifford Wood stepped onto the sagging floorboards of Rachel’s long-neglected home on the rugged shores of an island in Maine and began dredging up Rachel’s history. She was determined to answer the questions that filled the house’s every crevice: Who was this vibrant, talented artist whose very name entrances those who still remember her work? Why is that work—so richly remunerated and widely celebrated in her lifetime—so largely forgotten today? The journey into Rachel’s world took Wood further than she ever dreamed possible, unveiling a life fraught with challenge, and buried by tragedy, and yet incandescent with joy.The Field House is a book about beauty—beauty in Maine island landscapes, in friendship, love, and heartbreak; beauty hidden beneath a woman’s woefully unbeautiful exterior; beauty in a rare, delightful spirit that still whispers from the past. Just listen.

The popularity of "The Field House" is definitely worthy of all the attention the book is getting. As an author, Robin Wood arrives at the top of her game. Throughout her wonderful biography of Rachel Field—a poet and a Newbery-winner of young literature, as well as a novelist, playwright & Hollywood movie script writer of the early 1900s — we unexpectedly learn about Wood herself, her skillful research, and the serendipity that was a part of Field’s life she captured throughout this book.Wood’s letter-writing technique as a biographer kept me engaged throughout my reading. I learned of Rachel Field's cosmopolitan & island homes and her coming of age in our pre-feminist eras that was filled with the literati and society of her time. Readers will care about Rachel Field because Wood cares.What did I learn? Rachel Field was a bubbly personality, a large & very tall woman whose soul was one of a sprite that desperately wanted a lover and wanted children. And, in an era where men-worth-their-salt were the breadwinners, she supported her husband while understating her ability to do so tactfully saving his face.What makes this biography so readable and so special is Wood’s letter-writing throughout the book. Her letters are directed to Field and not to the reader. As a reader, one becomes a fly on the wall of the “love affair” between the author and her subject! Quite the privileged position for me and all the readers of "The Field House." Thank you Robin Wood for bringing life to forgotten Rachel Field for us! I see many field trips to Maine's Cranberry Isles after this reading.
