by Blair MacInnes (Author)
Mary (Mim) Blair, was a Chicago patron of the arts and the main character in Blair MacInnes' earlier novel, A Collection of Hours.
In this new family saga, Collectors Abroad, Mim and her daughters, Italia and Mildred spend a decade in Europe with a host of new characters and both adventures and misadventures.
Mildred's tuberculosis treatment takes them to Davos Switzerland and her first love. Italia pursues a very different type of affair. And Mim collects more than art through Switzerland, Florence and Paris.
Embedded within the family drama, including her sister's unique marital dynamic, Mim and her daughters will cross paths with John Singer Sargent, Lord Acton, Bernard Berenson, Isadora Duncan and Henri Matisse. And Mildred emerges as the Blair family collector-in- waiting.
Historical Fiction at its best.
