Monet's Shadow: The Sequel to Monet's Angels

Ever since Judith Goldstein arrived like a shooting star to disturb the peace of painter Claude Monet's household, (Jennifer Pulling's Monet's Angels) readers have wondered 'what happened next?' Here is the answer in Monet's Shadow.

It is 1937 Isabelle Goldstein, beautiful young American, arrives In Normandy's Giverny determined to discover her mother's secret. Monet's stepdaughter, Blanche, feels threatened by these consequences of a past when her special relationship with her stepfather was undermined. She will do anything to prevent the Goldstein secret coming to light, knowing it will destroy several lives.

Expat American artist, Robert, triumphs in protecting Isabelle from romantic disaster, when once he tried and failed Judith, her mother.

Many years after Claude Monet's death and in the gardens, Blanche creates her own romantic homage to the man she loved and lost. Will history repeat itself as the beautiful young American is attracted to the good-looking French boy and will the older generation prevent their union?

This is a bittersweet tale set between two world wars of those living under Monet's shadow: family, artists, servants and those drawn to the area by his influence. As the war approaches, the Normandy countryside is bombed to a wasteland. With the Nazi regime coming ever closer the writer creates an atmosphere that makes you worry about what and who will be lost.
