Cathy Marie Buchanan’s novel, The Painted Girls, is inspired by Edgar Degas’ sculpture, Little Dancer Aged 14. Buchanan’s novel is a captivating story of fate, tarnished ambition and the ultimate triumph of sisterly love. Robin Oliveira’s forthcoming novel, I Always Loved You, brilliantly evokes the irresistible world of Belle Époque Paris. The story revolves around a young Mary Cassatt, whose path crosses with Degas, thus beginning the defining period of her life and one of the most tempestuous of relationships in the history of art.
