{"product_id":"the-artist-colony-a-novel","title":"The Artist Colony: A Novel","description":"July 1924. Sarah Cunningham, a young Modernist painter, arrives in Carmel-by-the-Sea from Paris to bury her older sister, Ada Belle. En route, she is shocked to learn that Ada Belle’s suspicious death is a suicide. But why kill herself? Her plein air paintings were famous and her upcoming exhibition of portraitures would bring her even wider recognition.\n\nSarah puts her own artistic career on hold and, trailed by Ada Belle’s devoted dog, Albert, becomes a secret sleuth, a task made harder by the misogyny and racism she discovers in this seemingly idyllic locale.\n\nPart mystery, part historical fiction, this engrossing novel celebrates the artistic talents of early women painters, the deep bonds of sisterhood, the muse that is beautiful scenery, and the determination of one young woman to discover the truth, to protect an artistic legacy, and to give her sister the farewell she deserves.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1647421691\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1647421691.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:FitzPatrick, Joanna\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43577403179069,"sku":"BVV.1647421691.VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1647421691-0.jpg?v=1788644451","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-artist-colony-a-novel","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
