How did Pierre-Auguste Renoir feel during the months he planned and painted the Luncheon of the Boating Party? What was it like to be an Impressionist—to be part of the community of artists at that time in Paris? What compelled them to paint? Susan Vreeland writes fiction but uses both extensive research and her considerable imagination to bring alive the passions of Renoir, Gustave Caillebotte, and the other fascinating people connected to the painting of this masterpiece. Luncheon of the Boating Party is a richly evocative and deeply satisfying novel.
