The Swan Thieves Book Reviews
The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova Book Summary
Psychiatrist Andrew Marlow, devoted to his profession and the painting hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed. Desperate to understand the secret that torments the genius, he embarks on a journey that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.
Kostova's masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love. The Swan Theives is a story of obsession, history's losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope.

Not perfect, but a satisfying story of art and artists. Art, and especially the process of making it, is not easy to write about. The Swan Thieves succeeds to a higher degree than many. The narrative, with the shifts between centuries, is overlong and sometimes a bit turgid, but the point of the story is carried well by a cast of characters that play their parts well.
Even better. I love kostova's work and this was even better than the historian. This one has made all through my office at work with rave reviews from everyone. I wish I had found her later in her career so I would have more of her work to read!
A bit dissapointing. After reading The Historian, I was expecting more of The Swan Thieves. It is a well written book, but it gives you too much useless information about the lives of some of its characters that does not help to advance the story or to solve the mystery. It's a good story, but should have been shorter.
BREATHTAKING, MYSTERIOUS, FULL OF LOVE AND JOY AND SADNESS.. BREATHTAKING, MYSTERIOUS, FULL OF LOVE AND JOY AND SADNESS, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PUT IT DOWN, THEN WISH IT WAS MUCH LONGER. BRILLIANT WORK OF ART.
The Swan Thieves - good but not great. I loved The Historian so I was very eager to read this book. But I was disappointed. It was far too slow in the first half and I nearly gave it up. However, my love of France, Paris and the French language kept me going. I found many of the main character's actions unrealistic. The female characters were very flat save Béatrice. Too bad the novel couldn't just have been about the painters.
The Swan Thieves stole my heart. I have read every book by this author;sadly this was my last one and perhaps for me the best because of the subject of painting is at the centre of the story . All of her books are so vividly written, the characters addicting, the stories captivating. I wish I had 4 more to plough through.
