Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland
4.0

what a sensual lusty and enjoyable read! i am so glad that i read this in winter -- all the better to imagine the long beautiful days near the end of the summer the year Renoir created this masterpiece.

It took me a lot longer to read this book than usual but I am glad I took my time and enjoyed this novel. I also found myself wanting to take the time to look up words in the dictionary - to figure out exactly what a specific french phrase meant.

Enjoy this book like you would a fine wine or an enjoyable meal with friends.
