January : Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostavo
Hi Every one,
Here is a brief synopsis of this months book, I hope you can all join me on January 9th 2012 for the discussion. Also we will be talking about 2012 book picks for the year so please get your requests into me soon so I can do the research. Email me at erock@redlibrary.org or you can leave a note for me at the Library.
Psychiatrist Andrew Marlow, devoted to his profession and the painting hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed. Desperate to understand the secret that torments the genius, he embarks on a journey that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.
Kostova's novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love. The Swan Thieves is a story of obsession, history's losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope. Review provided by amazon
Happy Reading
