Image result for christina's world andrew wyethSimilar in theme to Tracy Chevalier's Girl With a Pearl Earring, this book tells the story behind a famous painting. In this case the painting is "Christina's World" by Andrew Wyeth.--->>>

The only thing I knew in advance about the painting was that the girl in the foreground was somehow crippled and could not walk to the house in the background.

I enjoyed this novel; it was a good character story about Christina Olson, who served as some kind of muse to Wyeth for many years.



I also read by this author: Orphan Train
