Description

A day in the life of an artist at work and at home is captured in this luminous novel. Eva Figes guides us through dawn, midday, and evening as Monet works tirelessly to pin down the richness of light in his last great paintings. As the sun rises, the world comes alive with color and shadow. The author's prose mirrors the artist's palette, evoking a sense of poignancy and beauty. We see the world through the eyes of those around Monet: his wife, grieving for a lost daughter; their friend, eating and drinking with them; two children playing in the garden. In this shimmering portrait, Figes explores the intersection of art and life, revealing the intricate web of emotions and experiences that shape our understanding of the world.
