New Releases by Holly Hobbie

Belladonna was sold as a sexual slave for $1 million. After years of abuse at the hands of an anonymous English aristocrat and his peers she escapes with her daughter and two servants. One of these, Thomasino, an Italian partisan castrated by the Gestapo, narrates the story - how he and his brother nurse her back to confidence and how they decide to seek revenge on the people who so damaged her and caused the death of her son. They settle in New York and open an opulent and decadent nightclub, sure that its erotic reputation will lure the men who abused her. The plan succeeds but only after Belladonna has fallen for Guy and believes she no longer needs the protection of Thomasino. Disillusioned and hurt he realises that revenge is not a sweet dish and in an exquisitely moving finale Belladonna comes to the same conclusion.

For nearly twenty years, Holly Hobbie fans have been delighted and charmed by the winsome girls in bonnets who grace the famous greeting cards. Now they and others will find additional delight in this book of watercolors. Holly''s career as an artist and her life as a mother have been inextricably related. In this book, through personal selection of her paintings, she affectionately chronicles the life of her growing family as it has been reflected over the years in her work. The images and anecdotes of her three children growing up, often funny and endearing, tell a universal story. At the same time, we are given a privileged view of a young woman''s gradual development as an artist. She talks about her early unexpected success, the sources of her art, her methods and her aspirations.
