Biography by a scholar who uses newly opened Kipling letters to argue he was a repressed homosexual who married Caroline Balestier although he was really in love with her brother Wolcott; critics call the book controversial.
Before his return, he had used the telegram to propose to and be accepted by Wolcott's sister Caroline Starr Balestier (1862–1939), called "Carrie", whom he had met a year earlier, and with whom he had apparently been having an intermittent romance.
For some time, relations between Carrie and her brother Beatty Balestier had been strained, owing to his drinking and insolvency.
With Josephine's arrival, Bliss Cottage was felt to be congested, so eventually the couple bought land—convert on a rocky hillside overlooking the Connecticut River —from Carrie's brother Beatty Balestier, and built their own house.
The couple settled upon a honeymoon that would take them first to the United States (including a stop at the Balestier family estate near Brattleboro, Vermont ) and then on to Japan.
Simply put, when Linderboom turns up – Balestier plays a lot better.
