Giveaway: The Swan Thieves
I recently attended the National Book Launch for The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova, and bought a signed, dated book for one lucky reader. Here’s the publisher’s description:
Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe, devoted to his profession and the painting hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed. Desperate to understand the secret that torments the genius, he embarks on a journey that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.
Kostova’s masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love. THE SWAN THIEVES is a story of obsession, history’s losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope.
To enter to win an autographed copy of The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova, simply leave a comment on this post. Contest is open worldwide. I will use random.org to determine the winner. Contest ends at midnight EST, Sunday January 31, 2010. Winner will be announced on Monday, February 1, 2010.
