Peggy Guggenheim, heiress and now legendary art collector, sits in the sun at her white marble palazzo on the Grand Canal. She's in a reflective mood, thinking back on her thrilling, tragic, nearly impossible journey from her sheltered, old-fashioned family in New York to here, iconoclast and independent woman. Rebecca Godfrey's Peggy is a blazingly fresh interpretation of a woman who defies every expectation to become an original. The daughter of two Jewish dynasties, Peggy finds her cloistered life turned upside down at fourteen, when her beloved father goes down with the Titanic. His death prompts Peggy to seek a life of passion and personal freedom, and, above all, to believe in the transformative power of art. We follow Peggy as she makes her way through the glamorous but sexist and antisemitic art worlds of New York and Europe and meet the numerous men who love her (and her money), while underestimating her intellect, talent, and vision. Throughout, Peggy must balance her loyalty to her family with her need to break free from their narrow, snobbish ways and the unexpected restrictions that come with vast fortune"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Guggenheim, Peggy, $d 1898-1979 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art $x Collectors and collecting $v Fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Godfrey, Rebecca. $t Peggy. $b First edition $d New York : Random House, 2024 $z 9780385538275 $w (DLC) 2024011720 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717031134.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=73A55E10440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
