Set in the lively Parisian art world of the 1880s, this novel imagines a poignant time in the lives of the American impressionist Mary Cassatt and her sister, Lydia. Lydia narrates the story as she poses for five of her sisters paintings. Ill with Brights disease and conscious of impending death, Lydia contemplates her narrowing world. The novels subtle power comes from its sustained inquiry into the very evanescence of life that the paintings record. How delicately, how perfectly Chessman considers the subtle currents of love and jealousy that mingle in this sibling relationship. The Christian Science Monitor A moving and intensely introspective portrait of the way art is created and life relinquished. Kirkus Reviews
