Clara and Mr. Tiffany: A Novel Audiobook

" it was a slow read for me, but only because of the detail. it was interesting and i enjoyed it. "

" I have always enjoyed Susan Vreeland's books but this one was not as gripping as her others. Still a good read. "

" I very much enjoyed this book. It's well written but also informative about the struggles women have had being recognized for their creative talent and being fairly compensated for their work. "

" Okay, I am giving it 5 stars! Clara was a feminist ahead of her time and I loved her sassy style. What a great book that really brought turn-of-the-century New York City alive. Great historical fiction with a super protagonist. "

" I love this author! 4.5 stars, really. "

" Fascinating look at how women played a role in the artistic success of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Also a glimpse of the beginning's of the women's labor movement in NYC around the turn of the last century. Lots of research went into this historical fiction. "

" I listened to the audiobook "

" I tried. I just couldn't waste any more time with it. I liked the premise and the idea of what the potential of the story could be. The writing was just so flat that it did not keep my interest at all. "

" Loved the personal stories, but went into a little too much detail on the art behind the windows. Not my favorite Vreeland book. "

" I give this 3 1/2 stars. I had such high hopes for this one, but there was just something about it that didn't sit right for me. It was a very interesting read, though. I loved learning about the glass and getting a feel for the time period. "

" I thought this book was really boring. "

" I read this book for a book club. I found it interesting to learn about Tiffany process of Stained Glass windows and lamps during the turn of the century in New York. Good portrayal of women's lives and restrictions/rights working in manufacturing at that time. "

" Loved the historical information about the labor movement and women's place in it. I took a stained glass class several years ago- really enjoyed learning more about that industry. "

" Historical Fiction. What I enjoy about reading. I knew very little about Tiffany Lamps except that I would like one. I will look at all Tiffany Lamps and stainglass with a new watchful eye. "

" I love stained glass, and the process, especially Tiffany. It was a nice read. Not astounding language but and interesting story. I'm very interested now if finding out what the REAL story of Clara is. I wish I was still in New York so I could go see the Tiffany glass with her in mind. "

" she is a great writer. and if i ever want to build and run a factory,studio for making mosaic glass windows, lamp shades and other products , this is the perfect manual for doing so-too much precise detail, too little story. i am reading and enjoying more her short stories from LIFE STUDIES. "

" kind of a women"s lib focus -interesting description of life in NYC in that era. More information on making the tiffany lamps than I needed.... "

" A nice piece of historical fiction. I liked it a lot. "

" I thought this book was really boring. "

" I think this was more of a 3.5, but that's not possible here... "

" This book was very intriguing. It deals with several issues. Women in the workplace in the 1900's and the inequities. The artistic abilities of women and their willingness to produce beautiful things knowing full well that they would not get the credit. "

" Entertaining, but I didn't love it as much as others I've read recently (and perhaps that's not a fair comparison). The author clearly put a lot of work into capturing turn of the century New York, and the fact that much is derived from Clara's actual letters is fascinating. "
