Loading... The Art of Scandal: The Life and Times of Isabella Stewart Gardnerby Douglass Shand-Tucci
don't know why so many people didn't like this. i knew nothing about gardner. i thought it was informative and interesting. (  ) mahallett | Sep 11, 2011 |  I gave up at about page 29. Thoroughly researched, but poorly organized and ponderously written. I might come back to this book to gain additional insight after I've read other biographies of this fascinating woman, but a poor choice for taking a first look at her life. (  ) lincics | Jan 11, 2010 | I so wanted to love this book, as the museum is one of my favorite places, but was bored to tears reading it. Shand-Tucci obviously had done his research thoroughly, but spent so much time evaluating the relations of her friends, and their work, that I was lost in daydream. Too bad, seemed that her life should have provided a more interesting story to tell. (  ) EllenH | Sep 10, 2009 | Wonderful research--difficult reading.
