By Nancy Dillingham Te Big Ivy Book Club will meet at


10 am on June 26 at Big Ivy Commu- nity Center at 540 Dillingham Road to discuss “Te Swan Tieves” by Eliz- abeth Kostova. Kostova has Asheville connections.


From the age of 9, she spent time with her grandparents here. Her grand- mother was a librarian. “For me,” says Kostova, “she was literature.” “For a long time,” Kostova says, “I

about “a painter’s obsession and how his presence changes other peoples’ lives.” And, she says, it’s about “love, first love and the last love of a lifetime.” Lastly, the author says that the novel


is “about our own psychology, the way we can come to love something so much that we’ll do almost anything for it.” Te story begins with modern art-


ist Robert Oliver who goes toward a painting in a museum with a knife and ends up in Goldengrove, a mental health facility, where he is treated by psychiatrist Andrew Marlow who is himself a painter also. Oliver refuses to speak or explain his


actions, but he does possess a packet of letters that leads Marlow to a group of Impressionist painters in the nine- teenth century and an obsession that parallels Robert Oliver’s obsession with the painting in the museum. Te meld- ing of these two obsessions is causal to solving the mystery. Te novel is complex, with multiple


narrators in parallel universes, but this complexity is rewarding because of its own impressionist sensuality and its timeless depiction of the artist’s world.
