Isabella Stewart Gardner’s name is well-known in Boston for her namesake museum that still stands today, but the choices she made during her lifetime set GildedAge tongues wagging. After a series of tragic losses, she fled to Europe and discovered a new path to healing: the enjoyment of art. In the 1880s and 1890s she collected vast stores of fine art from Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East, and after her husband’s death in 1898, she pursued their shared dream of building a museum to house and display these treasures. Franklin’s novel intimately describes Isabella’s grief and longing in her darkest days as well as her passion for life and fiery spirit.
