Fiction book club to discuss novel on Mary Cassatt

Jan 30, 2015

The Café Parlez fiction book club's selection for February is "I Have Always Loved You" by Robin Oliveira.

The book focuses on the young Mary Cassatt. When she moves to Paris after the Civil War, she doesn't think life is going to be easy. But after a decade of work, her submission to the Paris Salon is rejected and Mary is tempted to heed her father’s pleading to return to Philadelphia to find a husband. Then one evening a friend introduces her to Edgar Degas and her life changes forever. So begins the defining period of her life and the most tempestuous of relationships.

The book club will discuss this novel of Paris's Belle Epoque on Thursday, Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Plumb Library. Books are available at the desk or bring your own copy.
