Two White Queens and the One-Eyed Jack
Feb
A boy falls from a tree and loses his eye on a thorn bush. His body rejects the acrylic artificial eye he is given, so his mother returns to Germany, the only place that makes real glass eyes, and must face a past she had run away from. From albino twins to glass eyes, from Punk Opera to the fall of the Berlin wall, this is book about sight and seeing. And love.

A beautiful model disrobes and poses in a life-drawing class, changing the life and emotional core of a young sculptor. A sexy and philosophical look into art and the artist, this novel could well have been called, The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman. Winner of the prestigious HR Percy award.
