Hi,
I want to recommend a work of historical fiction called, "Dancing for Degas."
This book will be released in March:
http://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Degas-Novel-Kathryn-Wagner/dp/0385343868
A friend of mine gave me the book, which is a pre-pub edition, with some typos, to read.
This book is about the life of a dancer who modeled for Degas, for many of his paintings.
It is a coming-of-age book and has a strong romantic thread that runs through it.
We learn quite a bit of the life of Degas and his art, in this book, which was a page turner for me.
Have a great day!
