The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque: A Novel by Jeffrey Ford

Description: The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque tells the story of a portraitist Pieto PIambo, who is offered a commission unline any other. The client is Mrs. Charbuque, a wealthy and elusive woman who asks Piambo to paint her portrait, though with one bizarre twist: he may question her at length on any topic, but he may not, under any circumstances, see her. So begins an astonishing journey into Mrs. Charbuque's world and the world of 1893 New York society in this hypnotically compelling literary thriller.
