À propos de cet audio
The young Mary Cassatt never thought moving to Paris after the Civil War to be an artist was going to be easy, but when, after a decade of work, her submission to the Paris Salon is rejected, Mary’s fierce determination wavers. Her father is begging her to return to Philadelphia to find a husband before it is too late, her sister Lydia is falling mysteriously ill, and worse, Mary is beginning to doubt herself. Then one evening a friend introduces her to Edgar Degas and her life changes forever. Years later she will learn that he had begged for the introduction, but in that moment their meeting seems a miracle. So begins the defining period of her life and the most tempestuous of relationships.
In I Always Loved You, Robin Oliveira brilliantly re-creates the irresistible world of Belle Époque Paris, writing with grace and uncommon insight into the passion and foibles of the human heart.

“[This] book is accomplished and well-researched.... Although sometimes [Degas and Cassatt] are completely alienated, they remain linked through their art and love.” (Kirkus)
“In smart and supple prose.... Oliveira’s lively work illuminates these ambitious artists and rings true in the way the best fiction can.” (The Seattle Times)
“Oliveira has woven a rich tapestry of the artists’s life in Bell Epoque Paris, in a close, intimate rendering.” (Library Journal)
