LUNCHEON OF THE BOATING PARTY
by Susan Vreeland
Viking/Penguin, May 2007, hardcover; Penguin paperback, February 2008.
Translation rights controlled by publisher. Film rights controlled by BBA.
Everyone knows this iconic Impressionist picture: a group of dashing young men in jerseys and boaters, and women in frilly dresses lounging in the dappled shade of a riverside restaurant near Paris on a Sunday afternoon. All the people in the picture were real Parisians of Renoir’s time—artists, journalists, actresses, friends—but what, apart from the artist’s urging, brought them all there that immortalized day? In the latest of her fictional excursions into the world of great art and its creators, Vreeland examines the mixture of relationships and motives that brought everyone together and in the process offers an unforgettable portrait of a cherished time and place.

Voice (November 4, 2008) |
Corona’s richly historical novel imagines the lives of two sisters born in eighteenth-century Venice and left on the steps of the Ospedale della Pietà, a foundling hospital and musical academy. Each sister develops a breathtaking musical ability—the younger, more vibrant Chiaretta becomes a beautiful soloist; the elder, quieter Maddalena is a master of the violin. As their lives progress, the sisters find themselves on wildly different paths—Chiaretta marries into a wealthy Venetian family, and Maddalena studies under the brilliant composer and contentious priest Antonio Vivaldi, with whom she develops a forbidden attraction.
