"Once again the acclaimed novelist Stephanie Cowell deftly takes us
into the world of the classical arts with her well researched and
beautifully written novel of historical fiction, "Claude &
Camille.""--"LA Times Book Examiner" 5 Stars (Examiner.com)
"Cowell is nothing short of masterful in writing about Claude
Monet's life and love....An enthralling story, beautifully
told."--The Boston Globe
"What a man! I am in awe before him. To be swept up by this novel
which reveals the man and woman behind--no, in, the waterlily
paintings, the seascapes and landscapes, is, and must be, a
heartbreak. For me, reading Claude and Camille is like seeing old
friends, learning them anew, from the inside, their passionate
lives pulsing again by virtue of Stephanie Cowell's sure pen. The
story is lovely, touching, delicately written, extraordinarily
compelling, and nearly all true. Read it with a book of Monet's
paintings by your side, and be prepared to marvel, and to
weep."--Susan Vreeland, author "Luncheon of the Boating Party "and
"Girl in Hyacinth Blue
""You'll never look at Monet's water lilies the same way after
reading Cowell's luminous biography of the artist and his muse" -
"Romantic Times" (4 Stars)
"
""Rich and satisfying...Cowell seems poised on the cusp of very
great things." "-January "Magazine
"There's more than one love triangle involved in this highly
recommended tale. Don't miss "Claude & Camille.""--"BookLoons
"
"Fleshing out the artist's biographical outline with fresh imagery,
well-paced dramatic scenes and carefully calculated dialogue,
Cowell presents a vivid portrait of Monet's remarkable career. She
writes with intelligence and reverence for her subject matter,
providing a rich exploration of the points at which life and art
converged for one of history's greatest painters."--"Booklist"
"With elegant prose that blends color, light, and shadow to
perfection, much as Monet did in his canvasses, Stephanie Cowella
