Robertson Davies, What’s Bred in the Bone, (Penguin Random House Canada, 1985)
Francis Cornish was always good at keeping secrets. From the well-hidden family secret of his childhood to his mysterious encounters with a small-town embalmer, a master art restorer, a Bavarian countess, and various masters of espionage, the events in Francis’s life were not always what they seemed. In this wonderfully ingenious portrait of an art expert and collector of international renown, Robertson Davies has created a spellbinding tale of artistic triumph and heroic deceit. It is a tale told in stylish, elegant prose, endowed with lavish portions of Davies’ wit and wisdom. More info here. Also available as an e-book from the St. Catharines Public Library.

Katherine Ashenburg, Sofie & Cecilia, (Penguin Random House Canada, 2018)
This is the story of a lifelong female friendship, set in the fascinating art world of Sweden between 1900 and 1940, just as modern art and the beginnings of the Scandinavian mid-century modern design movement were inspiring a creative revolution across northern Europe. Loosely based on the lives of celebrated artists Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn ("Nils Olsson" and "Lars Vogt" in the novel), Ashenburg transports us behind both the public and domestic scenes--and canvasses--of these larger-than-life men to reveal the lesser-known but equally astounding and rich stories of the women who married them: restlessly creative artist-in-her-own-right Sofie Olsson, and fiercely private and intelligent curator Cecilia Vogt. More info here. Also available as an e-book from the St. Catharines Public Library. Join us for a virtual discussion via Zoom date TBA. Email manager@riverbrink.org for the zoom link. |

Orhan Pamuk, My Name is Red, (Penguin Random House, 2002)
At once a fiendishly devious mystery, a beguiling love story, and a brilliant symposium on the power of art, My Name Is Red is a transporting tale set amid the splendor and religious intrigue of sixteenth-century Istanbul, from one of the most prominent contemporary Turkish writers. More info here. Also available as an e-book from the St. Catharines Public Library. Join us for a virtual discussion via Zoom date TBA. Email manager@riverbrink.org for the zoom link. |
