Synopsis
Andrew Marlow, a psychiatrist, has a perfectly ordered life--solitary, perhaps, but full of devotion to his profession and the painting hobby he loves. This order is destroyed when the renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes Marlow's patient. When Oliver refuses to talk or cooperate, Marlow finds himself going beyond his own legal and ethical boundaries to understand the secret that torments this silent genius, a journey that will lead him into the lives of the women closest to Robert Oliver and toward a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism. Moving from American museums to the coast of Normandy, from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth, from young love to last love, THE SWAN THIEVES is a story of obsession, the losses of history, and the power of art to preserve human hope., Psychiatrist Andrew Marlow, devoted to his profession and the painting hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed.

The Swan Theives is a story of obsession, history's losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope.

    This is my first time buying from this particular seller. I am very happy and very pleased with my purchase! I love the Belle I received so much! This is truly a seller that went above and beyond! The seller contacted me and asked if I had any further questions and they even filmed a 45 second video clip so that I could hear Belle's music and see her turn and rotate. This is such a beautiful Belle and I am so glad I selected you as the seller to purchase it from! Thank you so much! :-)

Many thanks again and warmest wishes!
