Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriet Scott Chessman is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. Stories of immortality told tenderly and beautifully written.
Each chapter centers on a painting (and has a colour illustration of the painting) by the American born impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. The stories are told through the eyes of her sister Lydia as she poses for the artist and she reflects on her life, her lost loves and her family as they come to terms with her terminal illness.
Available through any library in Co Tipperary and a must read.
