Resumen del Editor
It was Emily Carr (1871-1945), not Georgia O'Keeffe or Frida Kahlo, who first blazed a path for modern women artists. Overcoming the confines of late Victorian culture, Carr became a major force in modern art. Her boldly original landscapes are praised today for capturing an untamed British Columbia, and its indigenous peoples, just before industrialization would change it forever.
In this novel, Susan Vreeland brings to life this fiercely independent and underappreciated figure. From illegal potlatches in tribal communities to prewar Paris, where her art was exhibited in the famed Salon d'Automne, Carr's story is as arresting as it is vibrant. Vreeland tells it with gusto and suspense, giving vivid portraits of Carr and the unconventional people to whom she was inevitably drawn: Sophie, a native basket maker; Harold, the son of missionaries, who embraces indigenous cultures; Fanny, a New Zealand artist who spends a summer with Carr painting in the French countryside; and Claude, a French fur trader who steals her heart. The result is a glorious novel that will appeal to lovers of art, native cultures, and lush historical fiction.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Vreeland couldn't have chosen a more vital, compelling, and significant subject....Her dramatic depictions of Carr's daunting solo journeys, arduous artistic struggle, persistent loneliness, and despair over the tragic fate of the endangered people she came to love truly are provocative and moving." (Booklist)

Tiana was a Cherokee woman. She grew up learning the magic, spells, and nature religion of her people. Before Sam Houston became the father of Texas, he was a young man who had run away from his home in Tennessee to live among the Cherokee. He came to love Tiana. As the Cherokee would say, she walked in his soul. But Sam was a white man, and Tiana, a Cherokee. And the dreams each had for their land and their people were far apart.

There came an elastic aftershock of creaks and groans and then, softly softly, a chinking shower of rubbled cement. Leaves calmed and trunks stood serene. Where, not a minute before, there had been a suburb, there was now only woodland standing amid ruins. There is no warning. No chance to prepare. They arrive in the night: thundering up through the ground, transforming streets and towns into shadowy forest. Buildings are destroyed.

Between life and death, dreaming and waking, at the train stop beyond the end of the world is the city of Palimpsest. To get there is a miracle, a mystery, a gift, and a curse - a voyage permitted only to those who’ve always believed there’s another world than the one that meets the eye. Those fated to make the passage are marked forever by a map of that wondrous city tattooed on their flesh after a single orgasmic night. To this kingdom of ghost trains, lion-priests, living kanji, and cream-filled canals come four travelers.

Good not great
Wasn’t as bad as the other reviews posted, but maybe they prepared me. You have to remember this was in the early 1900’s. Her work wasn’t as bad as the first museum said. They made it seem like the poles were eccentric. I’ve actually seen her work on the poles, and I think they were good.(not an artist though). I think Emily showed growth in herself and her work through this book. The narrator was off a little with the French accent, but no one’s perfect

Such insights gleaned from Emily Carr’s work!
I discovered Emily Carr while traveling with my mother-in-law to Vancouver Island and Vancouver city decades ago. She fascinated me with her trees and foreboding totems; I felt an affinity with her, having spent a month in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota and Canada, with trees and water composing the scenery.
What great satisfaction I derived from Susan Vreeland’s detailed consideration of Carr’s perspective beyond her artistry. I suppose they are entwined, but I hadn’t put all this together and am excited to immediately begin again to further piece together the perspective of this extraordinary woman.
Well done, Susan Vreeland! And well-read, Karen White. I was never distracted from what was being said; I was fully engaged. Thank you.

Narration is key - too bad
This book was recommended by a friend and I was excited to learn more about the artist and her life and adventures. I am about half way through and probably won't finish due to the narration. I feel like Ms. White is talking to a child with her constant up an downs inflections. I am truly sorry that I won't get to know the rest if the story. Should have bought the book. A narrator can make or break an audio book and this one is broken.

just couldnt
After trying in earnest I couldn't even get through the second chapter to experience the rest. The narrator's pedantic reading was exhausting. I'm going to try another Vreeland book to see if a different reader can keep me engaged in her words, before I give up on her as a writer, but this one was a wash for me.

Trite and poorly read
Ms Vreeland has found just about every cliche about women, artists, and Native Americans and repeated them relentlessly throughout this novel. It is read with great emphasis and excrable accents (the phony French is particularly painful). Save your money and your time; listen to one of the wonderful books at Audible!
