“Not just for art lovers; read it if you enjoy love, human drama, and American cultural history.” — Library Journal
The latest novel of bestselling author Susan Vreeland was inspired by the story of the real artist behind the iconic lamps of Green-Wood resident Louis Comfort Tiffany. Hundreds of personal letters brought to the attention of art historians in 2005 led to the electrifying discovery that it was a woman, Clara Driscoll, who invented and designed world-famous stained-glass lamps. Set against the Gilded Age world of formal balls and opera as well as the immigrant poverty of the Lower East Side, Vreeland’s novel imagines the life of the artistic and progressive Driscoll.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:
1. A free book talk by Susan Vreeland in the historic Green-Wood chapel, ending with a book signing (just released in paperback).
