GIVEAWAY – 3 copies of Loving Modigliani by Linda Lappin: PARIS

5th February 2023

We are delighted to offer 3 copies of Loving Modigliani: The Afterlife of Jeanne Hébuterne by Linda Lappin, and it’s all about Paris in the 20th Century. January 2023 marked the 103rd anniversary of the deaths of both Modigliani and Jeanne Héburterne.

UK ONLY

Linda Lappin

Linda Lappin’s new novel examines the real and imagined aftermaths of the 1920 death of the artist Jeanne Hébuterne, lover and wife of the painter, Amadeo Modigliani. An artist in her own right, Hébuterne died in a fall from a window two days after Modigliani’s own demise from tuberculosis.

In Loving Modigliani (Serving House Books, 2020), Lappin shadows Hébuterne’s ghost through the afterlife and takes readers through the darker corners of the European art world on a posthumous hunt by the living for her missing artwork.

    A whistlestop day trip from our campsite in Normandy. Climbed the Eiffel Tower, visited Sacre Coeur and stood and watched in awe the traffic around the Arc de Triomphe. Left us wanting more but sadly have never managed to return.
