Mad Enchantment: Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies by Ross King

funny informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I read this just before visiting monets house and garden in giverny. It really brought the house to life, this image of a bad tempered old man tortured by trying to capture the subtle beauty of his water lilies. It also transported me to France as it lived through the first world War, a time of great change and upheaval and what it was to live through. Definitely made me want to visit l'orangerie.
