Costalegre: A Novel Inspired by Peggy Guggenheim and Her Daughter by Courtney Maum

5.0

I took this book on a stressful trip (alas NOT on a beach in Mexico), and it was such a comfort to slip into these pages every night. I devoured its quirky cast of characters and lush, suffocating humidity. The world of Surrealist artists told in Lara's voice is convincing and beguiling. The writing feels so deft and assured. Also, the book LOOKS so gorgeous (+ I love its small size, like a young girl's diary).
