The Swan Thieves: A Novel (Hardcover)….. by Elizabeth Kostova
‘Elizabeth Kostova made a dramatic debut in 2005 with her mega bestselling The Historian. The first debut novel to hit the New York Times bestseller list at #1, The Historian has been published in 44 languages, has more than 1.5 million copies in print, and there’s a Sony film in the works.
In The Swan Thieves Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe has a perfectly ordered life: solitary, perhaps, but full of devotion to his profession and the painting hobby he loves. This order is destroyed when renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient. Desperate to understand the secret that torments this genius, Marlowe embarks on a journey that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism. Kostova’s masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy; from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth, from young love to last love.
The Swan Thieves is a story of obsession, history’s losses, and the power of art to preserve hope.’ Fabulous!
