Pepe Sivera joan_marin503f — The historical content of this story intrigued me. I was pleased to learn some new things about the Tiffany Companies as well as Clara Driscoll, the Clara in the title. Other reviewers have made comments about the details of the lamp-making, window-making, and glass blowing described in the book. I admit that I, too, found them sometimes tedious. Vreeland used correct terminology, I'm sure, but I feel like she always went a little too far into her descriptions of the art and would lose the reader. A little less and it would have been perfect. Vreeland's style of writing does not appeal to me, for a few reasons. One, she loves to use commas and make lists. Typically, a writer will included the standard three items in a list, sometimes four, but Vreeland always exceeded that number. It drew attention to the list but it always made me wonder, did she really have to list all those things? A second reason that Vreeland's writing doesn't work for me is the way she writes dialogue. She rarely states who is speaking, let alone gives descriptions of the way anything is said. It makes for very confusing reading sometimes, trying to go back and figure out who said what. Part of this is that you can't hear the characters voices when you read; they all sound terribly similar. Clara was the narrator of this story, but I am surprised at how little I know about her. She is the stereotypical post-Victorian single working woman. The emotion she shows is sparse and seems rather stilted. Her relationships are infuriating; the woman is the supervisor in her department and considers herself a "modern woman" but she won't communicate with the men she "loves". Edwin's departure came from left field and was handled terribly. It totally detracted from the story for me and almost made me stop reading. Her "relationship" with Bernard didn't make much sense until the very end of the book. The high point of the book was when the women have to prove their right to work in the studio. I thought it was a great commentary on the times. There is so much discussion about the gay characters in this book that it became a subplot, but didn't seem to add anything to the book. I feel like Vreeland was trying to make some type of point here. I had originally picked this as a book club read but then decided to read it first. I don't think there is anything inappropriate for our book club in this book, but I don't think I would recommend it for future book club reads, simply because I didn't totally enjoy the storyline. It might make for good discussions, though.

Reginald Sunn reggie12 — Loved it. Good end to series.
