- Zusatztext
- Brothers Adam and David Remler share the bond unique to identical twins, connected in all aspects of their lives and content to be so. Until Ariel Warning, a beautiful young woman with suspect qualities, comes to work for the brother s film company and begins a relationship with David while secretly pursuing Adam. When Adam falls to temptation, his sense of self is shattered. Adam goes out into the world to learn just who this mysterious woman is, seeking to protect his brother even as he betrays him. His inquiry takes him from the heartland of America to the Far East, becoming a journey of self-invention as much as a fact-finding mission. Every new facet of Ariel s past draws Adam in deeper, turning his investigation into a journey to solve the ultimate mystery: his problematic lost self.
- Kurztext
- Phoebe is an artist making very little money designing wine labels for a winery in Sonoma. Her house is in foreclosure, she's divorced, turning forty, and beleaguered on every front. Enter Marc Chagall s ghost, visible only to her, who appears to help her retrieve one of his own paintings that Phoebe s father found during the liberation of France. Meant for Phoebe and her mother, the painting never made it into their hands. In this debut comic novel, Phoebe and Chagall hunt down the painting in the South of France with help from a cast of characters including two sisters who are witches, a San Francisco Art dealer, and a misguided French innkeeper. Their snooping also leads Chagall to a few out of the hundred paintings that went missing during his lifetime. With skill and tension this book pits characters who appreciate art for its beauty against black market art dealers, evil collectors, and the mysterious German pawn hired to deliver the goods.
