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

3.0

I so badly wanted to love this book but, in the end, it was far too dry for my liking. This was filled with details from the end of Monet's life and career but it read like a textbook and never really captured my interest. I think this book would be a perfect fit for anyone interested in the intersection between the art world and the French experience during the war but all I really cared to learn about was Monet and his art so the rest fell flat.
