Tiffany Blues: A Novel

Product Information

We'd walked from the school on West Fifty-seventh Street north into the park and then continued along manicured pathways into this untamed, romantic area. This particular historical fiction book is centered on Jenny Bell who is one of twelve artists invited to a prestigious artists' colony in the 1920s. Non-photo blue is a pale shade of light blue that is commonly used by graphic artists, traditional artists, and layout editors for one simple reason: it doesn’t show up on most camera films.

Not as dark as dark blue or as vivid as regular blue, Medium Blue is a variation that lands somewhere in the middle for a muted, but still brilliant color. The needles and spines that grow in place of leaves have a distinctive deep green color that takes on a frosted blue appearance throughout the year, giving Spruce Blue its name as a result. So pale that it almost looks white, Alice Blue is named after the title character in Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

VERDICT: This fast-paced mystery, star-crossed romance, and love letter to Louis Comfort Tiffany will captivate Rose’s many fans and readers of 20th-century historical fiction.
