I first heard about this book from the associate publicist a Bloomsbury, Bridget Hartzler at BEA and it sounds amazing. A magic realism romance novel set in Paris ? Sounds awesome! Plus, I really enjoy Art History so I think this novel will be right up my alley .
Release Date: Sept. 13 2013
Seventeen-year-old Julien is a romantic—he loves spending his free time at the museum poring over the great works of the Impressionists. But one night, a peach falls out of a Cezanne, Degas ballerinas dance across the floor, and Julien is not hallucinating.
The art is reacting to a curse that trapped a beautiful girl, Clio, in a painting forever. Julien has a chance to free Clio and he can’t help but fall in love with her. But love is a curse in its own right. And soon paintings begin to bleed and disappear. Together Julien and Clio must save the world’s greatest art . . . at the expense of the greatest love they’ve ever known.
What are you waiting on ? Let me know and I will stop by !
I’m a lifelong reader who started blogging about YA books in 2011 but now I read in just about every genre! I love YA coming of age stories, compelling memoirs and genre bending SFF. You can find me talking all things romance at Romance and Sensibility.
