Desilu

I've read several books about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.  I find them intriguing. Their success was centered around a simple concept.  Love and marriage.
The irony lies in Desilu.  Desilu is a detailed book about Lucy and Desi's rise to fame.  Unlike their hit t.v. show, their everyday lives were far from the characters they portrayed.  If you don't want to know the details of their marriage, don't read this book.
Although they were divorced after nineteen years, they never stopped loving each other.  That's what kept coming through in the book.  They called, consulted and looked out for each other until Desi passed away.Even though some choose to focus on their failed marriage, their television marriage continues to bring love and laughter around the world. Thank you Lucy and Desi!
