Incredibly delicious to read...[ Stolen Beauty ] uniquely delivers intelligent plot, literary substance, and emotional impact...Albanese's dazzling descriptions depict each moment's contemporary arts movements and real-life artists of the time, following these characters into the new center of Western culture... Stolen Beauty  colors and enhances the true drama of the life of Adele Bloch-Bauer, known to the world as the Lady in Gold., Stolen Beauty is one of those rare, captivating novels that flies us through time, transports us across continents and oceans and challenges us to imagine the unimaginable, to reckon with the cruel forces of history and to marvel at the perseverance of the human spirit in the face of it ., Laurie Lico Albanese has given us a powerful and important tale of love and war, art and family. Filled with lush prose and vivid historical detail, Stolen Beauty  is a work simultaneously intimate and sweeping in its scope. I was transported; I loved being swept up into the glorious, golden era of fin de siecle Vienna., Courage and beauty are the banners waving over the double heroines of this truth-telling novel. Adele's suspenseful story and the terrifying narrative of her niece, Maria, capture both  fin-de-sicle  Vienna and the rise of Nazism. Like the paintings of Klimt, Stolen Beauty  both glitters and darkens in its presentation of vibrant life and dreadful death., Laurie Lico Albanese has given us a powerful and important tale of love and war, art and family.

Filled with lush prose and vivid historical detail, Stolen Beauty is a work simultaneously intimate and sweeping in its scope. I was transported; I loved being swept up into the glorious, golden era of fin de siecle Vienna., Stolen Beauty is painfully topical , reminding us in excruciating detail what happens when prejudice wins... an irresistible story, we're taken from the refined worlds of classical music, exquisite gowns and sumptuously appointed homes to the hate-fueled politics that ravaged Austria ... Too often when books alternate between different characters and different times the result is jarring and tiresome. Though each woman is nuanced enough to support an independent novel, the intertwining makes for a stronger, more compelling story ., Stolen Beauty is the most stunning depiction of the creation of a work of art --situating it in personal and political history--that I've read since Irving Stone's The Agony and the Ecstasy . Albanese's portrait of the brutality of the Nazi occupation of Austria and its seizure of art is unmatched., With her opening sentence, Albanese draws readers into a world of glamour, art, intrigue, power and fear...In this complex yet utterly readable novel, historical characters are brought to life against the setting of a city on the verge of artistic greatness and societal collapse . Albanese treats thorny moral issues with clarity and depth . Fans of Philippa Gregory, Tracy Chevalier, and those who enjoyed the film Woman in Gold won't be able to put it down., Incredibly delicious to read...[ Stolen Beauty ] uniquely delivers intelligent plot, literary substance, and emotional impact ...Albanese's dazzling descriptions depict each moment's contemporary arts movements and real-life artists of the time, following these characters into the new center of Western culture...

The well-paced stories of both women, told in alternating chapters, are presented in clear, crisp language, beautifully described settings, and credible dialogue that moves each woman's story forward, compelling readers to keep the pages turning, as do the historical elements of the novel...With all the elements of a good novel--love, sex, tense relationships, events spiraling out of control, family dynamics, personal conflict as well as war--coupled with real people and true history , this accessible novel of strong women, self-discovery, evolving social mores, artistic challenges, and a rapidly changing world makes for satisfying reading, whether one's interest is primarily women, history, art, or life in one of Europe's most beautiful cities in the time of Freud and free love., Albanese's novel will appeal to readers interested in such themes as love, self-discovery, and women's empowerment and to fans of the historical, art-based fiction of Susan Vreeland and Tracy Chevalier., Stolen Beauty is one of those rare, captivating novels that flies us through time, transports us across continents and oceans and challenges us to imagine the unimaginable, to reckon with the cruel forces of history and to marvel at the perseverance of the human spirit in the face of it., "Albanese artfully weaves Adele's story with Maria's harrowing life under the Nazis, and reflections on marriage and fidelity.

This novel is a bonanza of information about art history, philosophy, feminism, war, and love." , Stolen Beauty is the most stunning depiction of the creation of a work of art--situating it in personal and political history--that I've read since Irving Stone's The Agony and the Ecstasy . Albanese's portrait of the brutality of the Nazi occupation of Austria and its seizure of art is unmatched., With Stolen Beauty Laurie Lico Albanese has effected a perfect marriage between the Vienna of the early years of the 20th century and the Vienna of the Anschluss and the Nazi Occupation. This is particularly remarkable because the mood and tone of the alternating chapters are so different.

Synopsis
"A powerful and important tale of love and war, art and family...I was transported." --Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author "Albanese artfully weaves Adele's story with Maria's harrowing life under the Nazis, but it's hard to read Stolen Beauty without seeing ugly echoes in today's headlines. Seven decades after World War II, have we learned nothing?" -- USA TODAY From the dawn of the twentieth century to the devastation of World War II, this exhilarating novel of love, war, art, and family gives voice to two extraordinary women and brings to life the true story behind the creation and near destruction of Gustav Klimt's most remarkable paintings. In the dazzling glitter of 1903 Vienna, Adele Bloch-Bauer--young, beautiful, brilliant, and Jewish--meets painter Gustav Klimt. Wealthy in everything but freedom, Adele embraces Klimt's renegade genius as the two awaken to the erotic possibilities on the canvas and beyond. Though they enjoy a life where sex and art are just beginning to break through the façade of conventional society, the city is also troubled by a disturbing increase in anti-Semitism as political hatred simmers in the shadows of Adele's coffeehouse afternoons and cultural salons. Nearly forty years later, Adele's niece Maria Altmann is a newlywed when the Nazis invade Austria--and overnight, her beloved Vienna becomes a war zone. When her husband is arrested and her family is forced out of their stately home, Maria must summon the courage and resilience that is her aunt's legacy if she is to survive and keep her loved ones--and their history--alive. Will Maria and her family escape the grip of Nazi rule? And what will become of the paintings for which her aunt sacrificed nearly everything? Impeccably researched and a "must-read for fans of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Paula McLain's Circling the Sun" (Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Stolen Beauty juxtaposes passion and discovery against hatred and despair, and shines a light on our ability to love, to destroy, and above all, to endure., "A powerful and important tale of love and war, art and family...I was transported." --Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author "Albanese artfully weaves Adele's story with Maria's harrowing life under the Nazis, but it's hard to read Stolen Beauty without seeing ugly echoes in today's headlines.

    Book was in great condition, as others mentioned was only packaged in a plastic bag so could have used a bit more cushion for protection but luckily it was ok for me. Was not shipped within the expected time frame and arrived a day after the expected window which was disappointing since we were going away before it arrived and it was meant to bring along with us. Listing stated arrives in 2-4 days and came on day 5 instead due to the late drop off. Great price for the book and value overall.
