The Zin Book Club has chosen The Renoir Girls: A Hidden History of Art, War & Betrayal by Catherine Ostler.
The Renoir Girls is the story of three sisters, the daughters of a prominent French Jewish family, all painted as children by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In the turbulent years from the Belle Epoque to World War II, one would marry an English aristocrat and escape; one would become a collaborator with the Nazis; one would die in Auschwitz. This is the remarkable hidden history of the lives behind Renoir’s beguiling portraits.
The Book Club will meet to discuss The Renoir Girls on Wednesday, September 16th, at 6:30 p.m. in the wine lounge. New members always welcome!
