HarperCollins - Piece of the World, A : Christina Baker Kline

A Novel | Paperback | FICTION/Literary To Christina Olson, the entire world was her family’s remote farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine. Born in the home her family had lived in for generations, and tied to the farm by health and circumstance, Christina seemed destined for a small life. Instead, for nearly thirty years, she was host and inspiration for the artist Andrew Wyeth, and became the subject of one of the best-known paintings of the twentieth century, Christina’s World. As she did in her beloved bestseller Orphan Train, Christina Baker Kline interweaves fact and fiction in a powerful novel that illuminates a little-known part of America’s history.
