from the back of the book:
Before Georgia O'Keefe redefined the desert landscapes of New Mexico and Frida Kahlo revolutionized the art of self-portraiture, Emily Carr blazed a similar path with her boldly modern and inventive renditions of the British Columbian landscape. In The Forest Lover, Susan Vreeland brings to life the astonishing career of this fiercely independent adventurer and painter.
Overcoming the confines of Victorian culture, Carr set off on her own to paint a rugged frontier and its indigenous peoples just before the forces of history changed them forever. Ranging from tribal villages in the Pacific Northwest to artists' studios in pre-World War I Paris, Vreland tells her story with gusto and suspense, giving us a glorious novel about courage, genius, and the pursuit of vision against daunting odds.

Edited 7/17:
I liked this book but can't for the life of me explain why. It is very dark in places but appealing despite the darkness. I am passing it on to my daughter before releasing it into the wild again.
