SynopsisNearly 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 Oswalds' lives that she eventually became one of the Warren Com- mission's most important witnesses. Mrs. Paine's Garageis the tragic story of a well-intentioned woman who found Oswald the job that put him six floors above Dealey Plaza-into which, on November 22, he fired a rifle he'd kept hidden inside Mrs. Paine'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.

Days leading up to assassination
We’ll written. Factual. You feel sorry for Marina and Robert Oswald. Two very hood people. You get immediate dislike for Marguerite Oswald and Michael Paine. Ruth kind of hangs in the middle. Didn’t make many good decisions from moments after the horrible tragedy. Book very well written. I recommend it to those interested and need insight into this most disputable crimeVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
