Costalegre: A Novel Inspired by Peggy Guggenheim and Her Daughter by Courtney Maum

4.0

Based on the life of Peggy Guggenheim. Lara is taken to an artist's colony in Mexico because her flighty mother wants to open a museum in the jungle. The art is en route from Europe on a boat that never arrives. Lara misses her brother, is infatuated by a mysterious sculptor named Jack, and tries to learn to paint to impress her mother, who is largely unaware that Lara is there. It's a good little book. I wish it had been longer.
