Cascade

There is so much going on in this novel, it's hard to know where to begin to talk about it. It's about a woman who believes in her art and isn't willing to bow to the will of a man. It's about art and its power to communicate. It's about love, and how it doesn't always conquer all. It's about what endures–including Shakespeare. A very enjoyable read, with a protagonist–flawed though she is–you can cheer for.
