Product Description
Nearly forty years have passed since Ruth Hyde Paine, a Quaker housewife in suburban Dallas, offered shelter and assistance to a young man named Lee Harvey Oswald and his Russian wife, Marina. For nine months in 1963, Mrs. Paine was so deeply involved in the Oswaldsâ?? lives that she eventually became one of the Warren Com-
missionâ??s most important witnesses.
Mrs. Paineâ??s Garage is the tragic story of a well-intentioned woman who found Oswald the job that put him six floors above Dealey Plazaâ??into which, on November 22, he fired a rifle heâ??d kept hidden inside Mrs. Paineâ??s house. But this is also a tale of survival and resiliency: the story of a devout, open-hearted woman who weathered a whirlwind of investigation, suspicion, and betrayal, and who refused to allow her enmeshment in the calamity of that November to crush her own life.
Thomas Mallon gives us a disturbing account of generosity and secrets, of suppressed memories and tragic might-have-beens, of coincidences more eerie than conspiracy theory. His book is unlike any other work that has been published on the murder of President Kennedy.
