<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set in the richly drawn art world of nineteenth-century Paris, this stunning historical novel imagines Édouard Manet's last days in an indelible snapshot of genius, illness, and the dying embers of passion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Suffering from the complications of syphilis toward the end of his life, Édouard Manet begins to jot down his daily impressions, reflections, and memories in a notebook. He travels for healing respites in the French countryside and finds inspiration in nature--a cloud of dragonflies, peonies blanketed by the morning dew. Back in Paris, the artist holds court in his studio and meets a mysterious muse, Suzon. Entranced by Suzon's cool blue eyes, he decides to paint his final masterpiece, <em>A Bar at the Folies-Bergere</em>, life-sized--and wagers his health to complete it. In a sensual portrait of Manet's last years, illustrated with his own sketches, Maureen Gibbon offers a vibrant testament to the endurance of the artistic spirit.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>How can I not like this, a novel about one of my favorite painters by one of my favorite writers? Like one of the master's paintings, <em>The Lost Notebook of Édouard Manet</em> is universal in ambition, delicate in sensibility, and intimate in scope. In other words, this book is a miracle.--Rabih Alameddine, best-selling author of An Unnecessary Woman<br>
