Claude & Camille by Stephanie Cowell Book Summary

A vividly-rendered portrait of both the rise of Impressionism and of the artist at the center of the movement, Claude and Camille is above all a love story of the highest romantic order.

In the mid-nineteenth century, a young man named Claude Monet decided that he would rather endure a difficult life painting landscapes than take over his father’s nautical supplies business in a French seaside town. Against his father’s will, and with nothing but a dream and an insatiable urge to create a new style of art that repudiated the Classical Realism of the time, he set off for Paris.
 
But once there he is confronted with obstacles: an art world that refused to validate his style, extreme poverty, and a war that led him away from his home and friends. But there were bright spots as well: his deep, enduring friendships with men named Renoir, Cézanne, Pissarro, Manet—a group that together would come to be known as the Impressionists, and that supported each other through the difficult years. Even more illuminating was his lifelong love, Camille Doncieux, a beautiful, upper-class Parisian girl who threw away her privileged life to be by the side of the defiant painter and embrace the lively Bohemian life of their time.
 
His muse, his best friend, his passionate lover, and the mother to his two children, Camille stayed with Monet—and believed in his work—even as they lived in wretched rooms and often suffered the indignities of destitution. But Camille had her own demons—secrets that Monet could never penetrate—including one that when eventually revealed would pain him so deeply that he would never fully recover from its impact.

Love story for the ages.. Beautifully written, a love story for ages. I was captivated from word one and fell in love with Monet instantly!

Loved it. Could not put this book down. I love his work and this added to my enjoyment of it. A great story. I have recommended it to my husband and mother and they loved it too.

Claude and Camille: A Monet Story. Having loved the Impressionists’ work and Monet’s in particular, I was eager to read about the man himself. This book is excellent in drawing each of the three main characters. The easy flow of the text made it hard to put the book away each night. I am always draw to read about an area I know and this was no exception. I have been to Paris several times, the D’ Orsa, Monet’s home, and Normandy. Just a wonderful journey!
