Passion Dream Book: A Novel

An imaginative mix of fact and fiction, The Passion Dream Book travels from the Italian Renaissance where a girl spends her days spying on young Michelangelo, torn between wanting the artist and wanting to be the artist, and moves on to the twentieth century. Romy March and her partner, Augustine, lead the migratory lives of turn-of-the-century artists going from silent-era Hollywood, to the Harlem Renaissance and Paris in the late 1920s. From passion to betrayal, the Florence of Michelangelo to Hollywood, Whitney Otto applies the past to the present in a brilliant work of fiction.
