Reviews

"Agnes Anderson has written an extraordinary account not only of Walter Anderson's joyous and tragic life in art but of her own difficult and rewarding commitment to her husband. In language that brings to vivid life the drama of the natural and human worlds in which she has lived, she tells a story that adds a new dimension to my understanding of courage, dedication, and imagination."
