The Allegra Series
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lambert, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Dundurn Group, Weaving finely spun filaments of the lyric and mythic, Barbara Lambert creates a vivid tapestry of a year in the life of Allegra Schliemann, a woman in the throes of a knotty love affair with a married man, a newly crafted career as an artisan, and a battle against a debilitating disease. In this brilliant recasting of a traditional love triangle, three artists find their way into the heart of genius, and of darkness, emerging strangely and irrevocably intertwined. Like her mythological predecessors Philomela, Ariadne, and Arachne, Allegra encircles lovers, entraps enemies, and unfurls in the face of adversity.
