This richly imagined fiction entices us into the world of Mary Cassatt's early Impressionist paintings. The story is told by Mary's sister Lydia, as she poses for five of her sister's most unusual paintings, which are reproduced in, and form the focal point of each chapter. Ill with Bright's disease and conscious of her approaching death, Lydia contemplates her world with courageous openness, and asks important questions about love and art's capacity to remember.
