Books and Beyond: Literary power couples
Alison and Karen pay homage to some true literary power couples from the romantic era’s Percy and Mary to the modern day’s Nicole and Jonathan. We include the beat generation’s Jane and Paul, the lost generation’s Zelda and Scott and the timeless Gertrude and Alice. These pairs would make great cat names for those who are double-kittied.
