Figures of Beauty | David Macfarlane

2 posts | 1 read

Rich, imaginative. . . . One of the best novels I ve read all year. Ross King, author of Leonardo and the Last SupperA sensuous, heartbreaking novel about art, beauty, and the choices we make that define us for life.In 1968 a young man travels to Paris, where a series of unlikely events takes him to a tiny village in Italy and to the one great love of his life. A marble merchant meets a couple on their honeymoon, introducing them to the sensual beauty of Carrara. An Italian woman arrives in Canada to find the father she never knew. A terrible accident in a marble quarry changes the course of a young boy s life and, ultimately, sets in motion each of these stories, which David Macfarlane masterfully shapes into a magnificent whole. A beautifully written, complex, and bittersweet story that spans continents and eras. Daphne Kalotay, author of Russian Winter and Sight Reading"

bailed

I absolutely can't stand to not finish a book, but this one just could not hold my attention or interest. It's very disjointed to me, and while the scenery that's described is beautiful, I just can't follow the storyline at all. I might try to come back to it in the future but for now, I've a ton of other books that I can read to interest me. #dnf

Eclectic version. I've only read 3 of these. The rest I had to Jenga out of my tottering TBR pile. 📚❤😁
