false <![CDATA[The Adventuress]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166670264m/15136.jpg 15136 3 The author of the <I>New York Times</I> bestseller <I>The Time Traveler's Wife</I> returns with another evocative &#147;novel in pictures,&#148; the much-anticipated follow-up to 2005's <I>The Three Incestuous Sisters. The Adventuress</I> follows the dreamlike journey of an alchemist's daughter. After she is kidnapped by a lascivious baron, she turns herself into a moth and flees to the garden of a charming butterfly collector named Napoleon Bonaparte. The story of how the two become lovers, and how their affair ends in tragedy and transcendence, is told through Niffenegger's spare prose and haunting aquatint etchings. With a stunning and distinctive visual style reminiscent of the work of Edward Gorey, this gothic romance packs the emotional heft of the world's great fairy tales. It will delight fans of the author's previous works and enchant an entirely new legion of readers. 2782 1 9 2006 The Adventuress total:212|5:30|4:66|3:66|2:41|1:9| 212 703 567 57 1 4 false false Sun Aug 05 20:55:59 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 20:58:02 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Mar 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 17:37:53 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 17:37:53 -0700 2009 The Time Traveler's Wife:, and I've since been digging around for more work of hers that I can fall in love with. Her other picture book, The Three Incestuous Sisters:, did little for me. This, on the other hand, I thought was wonderful.
