The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo

By Irving Stone

$16.00
When I first read this as a young ‘un I was barely aware of who Michelangelo was and what he did. This book, although fiction, gave me much reason to be awed by the great Italian painter and sculptor. The passages where I. Stone describes Michelangelo working on the The Pieta or The David are moving and inspiring. Maybe Irving Stone indulges in melodrama – but a big life deserves a big story.

A story of forbidden love and familial dysfunction that interweaves multiple generational and cultural viewpoints, Nafisa Haji's The Sweetness of Tears is a powerful reminder of the ties that bind us, the choices that divide us, and the universal joys and tragedies that shape us all. Compulsively readable, Shilpi Gowda's Secret Daughter is a story of the unforeseen ways in which our choices and families affect our lives, and the indelible power of love in all its many forms.
