nA fascinating reimagining of the overlooked, complicated life of Thomas Manns translator, Helen Lowe-Portern n nn nThe literary giant Thomas Mann balked at a female translator, but he might well owe his standing in the Western canon to a little-known American woman, Helen Lowe-Porter. Based closely on historical source material, Jo Salass novel Mrs. Lowe-Porter sympathetically reveals a brilliant womans struggle to be appreciated as a translator and find her voice in a male-dominated culture. Married to the charming classicist Elias Lowe, whom she met and fell in love with while in Munich, the story weaves one womans journey as her husband Eliass career soars and her translation work earns Mann the Nobel Prize. The novel celebrates Helen Lowe-Porter as she learns to risk stepping out from the long shadow of the dominating men of her life to become a person of letters in her own right.n
