What Members Thought
Stephanie Cowell's novel is focused on Monet's great passions: painting, friendships and Camille Doncieux. She shows the reader the world through the great artist's eyes and paints a dezzling portrait of a passionate young man struggling to become recognized in his field. It is a fascinating look at nineteenth century Paris, the bohemian lives of the Impressionists and their sturggles to create a new way of seeing art and the world.

I love the impressionists--their work constitutes my favorite period of art history. Claude Monet and his wife Camille come alive in this excellent historical novel. The genius, the selfishness, the poverty, the heartache--and the love--all shine thru in this story. I came away feeling I had truly spent time with the great artist long-suffering wife
Very moving, very believable.
