Claude & Camille: A Novel of Monet by Stephanie Cowell

3.0

This book was OK. There were pacing problems and the dialogue was very juvenile. I knew bits and pieces about Monet’s life, and it was nice to have this book to fill in the gaps. I liked that the focus was on Camille, who was a model and muse for many of the Impressionist artists. She led a rock and roll lifestyle for a high society woman of the era! Although overly dramatic, this nook did capture the extent of Monet’s lack of responsibility in all facets of his life. I wish it had continued on into his later years.
