The Janus Gate: An Encounter with John Singer Sargent

165 pp. | Watson-Guptill | April, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8230-0406-6 $15.95
(4) YA Art Encounters series. Inspired by Sargent's The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, this Gothic tale draws readers into the painter's relationship with a mysterious, eccentric family who may be hiding a terrible secret. The suspense is well maintained, but the ending is somewhat flat. Factual details of Sargent's life and work are included unobtrusively. An author's note provides further information. Reading list, timeline, websites.
