Summary of Chloé Cooper Jones's Easy Beauty

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The sculpture depicts a story from Roman mythology. One version goes like this: Pluto offends Venus, the goddess of love, and is punished by being transformed into a love-like madness. Proserpine, the daughter of the goddess Ceres, is nearby picking flowers.

#2 The sculpture of Proserpine is alive. Her body is strong, and she torques it forcefully against the god, trying to free herself. She smashes the hardest part of her palm into Pluto’s face. She is stupefied by awe, aversion, and desire.

#3 I was six when I held my father’s hand as he followed a red-haired woman around a department store. She was a stranger, but she regarded my father with a knowledge I didn’t understand. I watched my father follow her around the store, and I was confused.

#4 I was approached by a stranger who told me that the most beautiful part of the museum was the building itself. I didn’t agree, but I was polite. He went on to explain that people don’t realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
