Historical novel. "[Radio] DJ Jean Shepherd hated that bestseller lists were based on sales and also requests for books. He urged listeners to request a book that did not exist. It shot to number #1 and was eventually published." (Abebooks newsletter on "Jokes, Hoaxes & Other Literary Frauds", 2012-04-02) Betty Ballantine wrote the final chapter. (The Washington Post, 2019-02-16)
