Susan Vreeland Signs in Mission Viejo In 1971, Susan Vreeland stepped out of the Louvre, and, as she crossed the Pont Neuf, was unable to deny her love for the art she just experienced. She instantly fell in love with the characters of her imagination: the quarry worker who cut the marble for the Pietà, an apprentice cutting glass for Sainte-Chapelle’s windows, a proud mother sending her son to the Crusades. Susan’s love for history and art continues in her eighth novel, Lisette’s List, where a reluctant Lisette, after a move to France, comes under the instruction of her husband’s ailing father, the art-loving Pascal. But when German forces proliferate the countryside, it means not only to threaten Lisette and her family, but the collection of her new mentor’s one-of-a-kind paintings.

 Susan Vreeland - "Lisette's List" Warwick's, tirsdag, august 26, 2014 kl. 7:30pm Warwick's is excited to announce the launch event for Susan Vreeland on Tuesday, August 26th at 7:30pm to discuss and sign Lisette's List. Reserved Seating is available. Call Warwick's at (858) 454-0347 to purchase. From Susan Vreeland, bestselling author of such acclaimed novels as Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Luncheon of the Boating Party, and Clara and Mr. Tiffany, comes a richly imagined story of a woman's awakening in the south of Vichy France--to the power of art, to the beauty of provincial life, and to love in the midst of war.
In 1937, young Lisette Roux and her husband, Andre, move from Paris to a village in Provence to care for Andre's grandfather Pascal. Lisette regrets having to give up her dream of becoming a gallery apprentice and longs for the comforts and sophistication of Paris. But as she soon discovers, the hilltop town is rich with unexpected pleasures.
Pascal once worked in the nearby ochre mines and later became a pigment salesman and frame maker; while selling his pigments in Paris, he befriended Pissarro and Cezanne, some of whose paintings he received in trade for his frames. Pascal begins to tutor Lisette in both art and life, allowing her to see his small collection of paintings and the Provencal landscape itself in a new light. Inspired by Pascal's advice to "Do the important things first," Lisette begins a list of vows to herself (#"4. Learn what makes a painting great"). When war breaks out, Andre goes off to the front, but not before hiding Pascal's paintings to keep them from the Nazis' reach.
With German forces spreading across Europe, the sudden fall of Paris, and the rise of Vichy France, Lisette sets out to locate the paintings ("#11. Find the paintings in my lifetime"). Her search takes her through the stunning French countryside, where she befriends Marc and Bella Chagall, who are in hiding before their flight to America, and acquaints her with the land, her neighbors, and even herself in ways she never dreamed possible. Through joy and tragedy, occupation and liberation, small acts of kindness and great acts of courage, Lisette learns to forgive the past, to live robustly, and to love again.
