In the summer of 1918, with the Germans threatening Paris, Edward Steichen arrives in France to photograph the war for the American army. There, he finds a country filled with poignant memories for him: early artistic success, marriage, the birth of two daughters, and a love affair that divided his family. Told with elegance and transporting historical sensitivity, Emily Mitchell’s first novel captures the life of a great American artist caught in the reckoning of a painful past in a world beset by war.A Finalist for the New York Public Library's Young Lion's Fiction Award and named a Best Book of the Year by the Providence Journal, the Austin-American-Stateman, and the Madison Capital Times.

Recensioner i media
"In this debut novel, the life of a celebrated artist is imagined with the sensibility of a seasoned author…With a plot relentless in its inevitability, and the language shifting from spare to lush, Mitchell’s voice is refined and graceful depicting what is not: war and the dissolution of a marriage."
