  • An Aunt Mimi Encounter of Cynthia Lennon's In 1972

    From Norbert K@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 3 03:25:03 2022
    This is from Cynthia Lennon's book John. The context is John's Aunt Harrie's funeral in 1972:

    Aunt Mimi was there, over seventy now, but still astonishingly without a single gray hair. At the wake after the funeral she cornered me: "What on earth were you thinking of, Cynthia, you silly girl, divorcing John and allowing him to go off with
    that woman?" I pointed out that I had little say in the matter, but Mimi would have none of it. "You should have stopped it. Now look what an idiot he's making of himself."

    I wasn't aware she'd written another book besides A Twist of Lennon.

    I'm assuming John didn't show up at Aunt Harrie's funeral but he had a
    lot going on at the time.
