The Swan Thieves

Kostova's masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love to create a story of obsession, history's losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope. Elizabeth joins us to talk about The Swan Thieves. Bookmark and Share
