Description

The Forest Lover by Susan Vreeland In this captivating novel, Susan Vreeland tells the story of Emily Carr, a pioneering artist who broke free from the conventions of her time to create a truly modern art. Born in Canada, Carr's life was marked by a deep connection to the natural world and the indigenous peoples she encountered. From the illegal potlatches of tribal communities to the artistic studios of pre-World War I Paris, Vreeland brings to life the events that shaped Carr's remarkable career. With suspense and gusto, she reveals the challenges and triumphs of this courageous woman who paved the way for future generations of female artists. A glorious novel that will appeal to lovers of art, native cultures, and historical fiction, The Forest Lover is a story of creativity, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit.
