I have immersed myself in reading about Impressionism for the past three weeks or so. My focus has been non-fiction, but I want to start reading some fictional stories as well. This book goes to the top of that list!

Fantastic review! I loved this book as well. Cowell brought these characters to life in such a way that I felt I knew them. What I love is that I didn't know much of anything about Monet other than he was an artist but I came away, after reading this book, with much more knowledge. It's nice to learn and enjoy at the same time. I'm looking forward to reading more of her work.

I might have to check out the one on Cezanne. I read a book like this and wonder if all of them are like this, but then I guess they wouldn't be as interesting to read about if they weren't extreme in some way. My recent post Claude & Camille: A Novel of Monet, by Stephanie Cowell – Book Review

Then I think you would too. Artists lives can be so fascinating because they live on the edge, and the nice thing about this one is that we also get to see how all these great artists got there start and what it might have been like with all of them interacting with each other. I hope you enjoy it Valerie, if you do end up picking it up. My recent post Claude & Camille: A Novel of Monet, by Stephanie Cowell – Book Review

Kathy I really enjoyed. I spent a fair amount of time shaking my head at how he treated his family. My recent post Claude & Camille: A Novel of Monet, by Stephanie Cowell – Book Review

Sandy, I definitely wanted to step into the pages and give him a good shake. You have to really want someone to endure that kind of single mindedness. It's hard to imagine sitting by and quietly starving or losing my home because my man has an unwavering vision- but she did her best.

Yes! Artists are so giving like that. Passing away in obscurity and poverty so that the future generations can live well. So selfless! But not so good for your son and his kids, no! My recent post Claude & Camille: A Novel of Monet, by Stephanie Cowell – Book Review

I only vaguely know what his work looked like before, so I am interested to pay more attention when I see it now. My recent post Claude & Camille: A Novel of Monet, by Stephanie Cowell – Book Review
