Girl in the Moonlight; Charles Dubow
William Morrow - May 2015
(DESCRIPTION)
The author of Indiscretion returns with a scorching tale of love, passion, and obsession, about one man’s all-consuming desire for a beautiful, bewitching, and beguiling woman.
Since childhood, Wylie Rose has been drawn to the charming, close-knit Bonet siblings. But none affected him more than the enchanting Cesca, a girl blessed with incandescent beauty and a wild, irrepressible spirit.
Growing up, Wylie’s friendship with her brother, Aurelio, a budding painter of singular talent, brings him near Cesca’s circle. A young woman confident in her charms, Cesca is amused by Wylie’s youthful sensuality and trusting innocence. Toying with his devotion, she draws him closer to her fire—ultimately ruining him for any other woman.
Spanning several decades, moving through the worlds of high society, finance, and art, and peopled with poignant characters, Girl in the Moonlight takes us on a whirlwind tour, from the wooded cottages of old East Hampton to the dining rooms of Upper East Side Manhattan to the bohemian art studios of Paris and Barcelona. As he vividly brings to life Wylie and Cesca’s tempestuous, heart-wrenching affair, Charles Dubow probes the devastating depths of human passion and the nature of true love.
New author for me. Like this one and making a note. Thanks for review
ReplyDeleteI will bee checking this one out - part of my 2015 challenge for myself is to read one booked each month that was just published. I'm enjoying this - it has me paying more attention to books soon to be published - and forcing me to take a leap of faith in choosing a book.
ReplyDeleteIndiscretion was such a surprising read for me...the story was so cliche, but I loved it and couldn't put it down. I've got Girl in the Moonlight waiting for me on my Kindle - looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteAnother good one!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Indiscretion, and I like the sounds of this one. I'll look them both up. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI read Indiscretion a couple of years ago and thought it was quite good. I had a chance to get this ARC at work a few weeks ago, but decided against it. I think I'll wait to read some reviews before adding it to my toppling stacks!
