Mailbox Monday


Another Mailbox Monday!!!


Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. This is a feature where we all share with each other the exciting books that showed up at our doors this week. WARNING: Mailbox Mondays can lead to extreme envy and ever-growing wishlists!!


I'm really looking forward to reading this book and feel fortunate that I won one!
This past week I was out of town and pleasantly surprised when the mailbox held one book for me. I won an audio version of Swan Thieves from Teddy Rose at So Many Precious Books.

Synopsis at Barnes and Noble
Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe has a perfectly ordered life--solitary, perhaps, but full of devotion to his profession and the painting hobby he loves. This order is destroyed when renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient. In response, Marlowe finds himself going beyond his own legal and ethical boundaries to understand the secret that torments this genius, a journey that will lead him into the lives of the women closest to Robert Oliver and toward a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.
Ranging from American museums to the coast of Normandy, from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth, from young love to last love, THE SWAN THIEVES is a story of obsession, the losses of history, and the power of art to preserve human hope.
Thanks, Teddy!

I've heard a lot about The Swan Thieves - all the reviews I've read have said that it is excellent. I'll have to go get myself a copy once my review pile simmers down a bit.

Here's my Mailbox Monday.
