But as a woman, she finds herself sometimes overlooked in favor of her male counterparts--Monet, Pissarro, Degas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd there is one great artist among them who captivates young Berthe like none other: the celebrated genius  douard Manet. A mesmerizing, breathtaking rogue--a shameless rou , undeterred and irresistible--his life is a wildly overgrown garden of scandal. He becomes Berthe's mentor, her teacher...her lover, despite his curiously devoted marriage to his frumpy, unappealing wife, Suzanne, and his many rumored dalliances with his own models. For a headstrong young woman from a respectable family, an affair with such an intoxicating scoundrel can only spell heartbreak and ruin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Berthe refuses to resign herself to the life of quiet submission that Society has dictated for her. Undiscouraged, she will create her own destiny...and confront life--and love--on her own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Robards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0061579122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061579127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.36w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2008 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/29\/2008 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2008 pg. 51 - Excellent","brand":"Elizabeth Robards","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981423313151,"sku":"9780061579127","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9b2bb64-7483-4e11-a426-7ea8fc16a27d.jpg?v=1683255482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-violets-elizabeth-robards-9780061579127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
