Dozens of sources claim that this connection comes through the family of Berthe’s mother, who was named Marie-Joséphine-Cornélie Thomas, although as of yet I can’t find the origin of this claim in writing. So I began to comb through the genealogical timelines of the Morisot family and realized that I couldn’t find a clear ancestral connection between the artists at all. However, as I researched, I found conflicting information about how Morisot was either the granddaughter of Fragonard, the great-niece of Fragonard, or the great-great-niece of Fragonard. I recently read in The Art of Reading: An Illustrated History of Books in Paint that Berthe Morisot was the descendant of the painter Jean-Honore Fragonard, and I hoped to write a post that explored that relationship between the two. The post that you are reading is a very different one than the first one that I originally wrote this evening. Berthe Morisot, “Reading (The Green Umbrella), 1873. It’s the emotions that this is going to bring it out in you, that make it such a fabulous read. “Sure, we were adults, but stripped of our freedom and deprived of our identity by the hands of medication and means of brainwash-an attempt to reset us like a broken toy.” At the end I was screaming “NOOOOOO! NO! NO! NO! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!” I’m losing my mind wondering where Fiorina is taking us in the next book!!!! I’m still blown away that this is a debut series!! The writing gets better and better. Where your so called “friends” are waiting to stab you in the back. That’s how long they are in that godforsaken place. Every moment, no matter how long it lasts, it’s all worth it, yeah?” Two years. There are so many obstacles in their way. But then it’s sweet, romantic and sooo beautiful. It’s distressing, destructive and down right painful at times. Their journey isn’t for the faint of heart. Once it touches you, it doesn’t go away.” Ollie and Mia have this soul deep connection and I KNOW they belong together. Watching these two struggle, emotionally and physically, is heart wrenching! “That’s the thing about love. Even When I’m Gone is such an emotional endeavor! I fell in love with Ollie and Mia in Stay With Me, and I was on pins and needles watching their story play out. Heaven and hell.” I have let me emotions simmer for days, and I’m still not sure how to get all of thoughts out of my head. I’d set my alarm a little earlier than I should have because I’m nervous about my first day. Rolling over to my side, I see I still have thirty minutes before I need to get up.

Until I read The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, I didn’t know that Japan shared a common border with the Netherlands. In particular, could he break the pattern that had made each of his first three novels, despite their inventiveness and compexity, seem to be less an ocean than a multitude of drops? Could he apply his considerable imaginative talent to a fully unified story? Or would he be damned either way: accused either of failing to break new ground, or of not playing to his established strengths? After the cumulative nimbleness of Cloud Atlas, he retreated into a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story for Black Swan Green (“I thought it was about time I wrote my first novel”), but all eyes – my eyes anyway – were on what he would do next.
