Tiffany Blues by author M.J. Rose is filled with stunning imagery of color and beauty! I enjoyed this book very much for several reasons. The story grabs the reader from the beginning as we meet Jenny Bell in 1924. I won't post spoilers, but the story is rich with family drama, hardships, love, loss, and Jenny's determination to use her talent for success. A terrible thing happens to Jenny when she is a teenager because of her love for her family and she suffers a terrible injustice.
Years later her best friend Minx Deering arranges for Jenny to be invited to Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Laurelton Hall artist colony for a competition. Jenny begins to live in beautiful color and she understands her life can be so much more than light and shadows with her art. This is a wonderful story and is filled with many nuggets from the past and curious glimpses of life as an artist during this era of society. I loved the passage, "I made it so I would never forget there is beauty even in broken things. That through the cracks, light still shines."
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
