The Bookworm at thebookwormspeaks.wordpress.com posted her review of Poets, Artists, Lovers, and she asked me to feature it here as well.
So here’s from The Bookworm:
With Poets, Artists, Lovers: A Novel, Mira Tudor takes us on a journey through a tangled web of romance-ridden lives that starts and ends with Henriette, a talented sculptress and “beautiful redhead”, who finds herself drawn to Pamfil, a pianist/Casanova known for his monthly parties. This all despite her relationship with Haralambie, a writer.
The dialogue-heavy narrative might seem hard going at times, but it is actually quite apt, as the story primarily features middle-aged girlfriends drinking what seems to be endless cups of peppermint tea and talking about not only those oh-so-relatable things such as weight gain, boy troubles and minor existential crises, but sharing shrewd and interesting perceptions on art and society. The reader is also treated to a raw and authentic yet, despite its many philosophical digressions, accessible glimpse into the Romanian art scene. On the surface, it might just seem to be a close group of bohemian artists hanging out at parties and warbling about art but there is some provocative substance underneath.

Poets, Artists, Lovers is only $2.99 on Amazon US! Enjoy!

Mira Tudor, I came across this very novel in the Kindle section of Amazon and purchased it. Such an educationally entertaining read it is. I read the entire book in one four-hour sitting and re-read it again a couple of days later. It relays so much about interpersonal interactions and Romanian culture and such a sense of place — on the order of Merce Rodoreda’s Diamond Square — that I keep going back to it again and again. Thank you! Will there be more?
