The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova, notes by Joanna

 quote.gifAn enchanting story and a deeply human experiencequote_1.gif 
 Mary F. Burns, Historical Novel Society


Kostova wrote the "Historian" an excellent book.  Swan Thieves is equally as good.  Psychiatrist Marlow has a disturbed artist as a patient who has been incarcerated.  The story unfolds as Marlow begins to unravel Robert Olner's story through contact with the woman in his life, and letters held by him from painters in the 1870's

This book is highly recommended reading, simply stunning.
