Giveaway: The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova-Audiobook


Thanks To Anna Balasi of Hachette Books, I have up to 3 of these audiobooks up for grabs.

Book Description:

Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe has a perfectly ordered life--solitary, perhaps, but full of devotion to his profession and the painting hobby he loves. This order is destroyed when renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient. In response, Marlowe finds himself going beyond his own legal and ethical boundaries to understand the secret that torments this genius, a journey that will lead him into the lives of the women closest to Robert Oliver and toward a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.

Ranging from American museums to the coast of Normandy, from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth, from young love to last love, THE SWAN THIEVES is a story of obsession, the losses of history, and the power of art to preserve human hope.

Listen to an excerpt: here.

I'll be happy to be a new follower and enter the contest! I enjoyed the Historian (though I think she could have benefited from a little more editing) and look forward to reading the next one! Am also curious to hear your take on it.
