Why read it?
1 author picked I Always Loved You as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Written in gorgeous and delicate prose, I Always Loved You tells the story of the troubled romance of Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas. Oliveira deftly portrays a who's who of famous artists--Manet, Morisot, Pissarro, and more--but focuses on the tender heart of Cassatt.
