A treasure of a gift for the well-read woman, this collection brings together 50 stirring portraits, in watercolor and in word, of literature's most well-read female characters. Anna Karenina, Clarissa Dalloway, Daisy Buchanan...each seems to live on the page through celebrated artist Samantha Hahn's evocative portraits and hand-lettered quotations, with the pairing of art and text capturing all the spirit of the character as she was originally written.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A beautiful collection of quotes and illustrations from fictional female characters in various books. In Well Read Women, Samantha Hahn uses her beautifully elegant watercolor style to bring to life characters such as Emma by Jane Austin or Cosette from Les Miserables by Victor Hugo to name a few. This is only a collection of portraits and quotes and not a novel. A great coffee table book to flip through for the art and inspiration.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Simply stunning! The more I look the more I want to look. Highly recommend.
