The Lady in Gold, considered an unforgettable masterpiece, one of the 20th century's most recognizable paintings, made headlines all over the world when Ronald Lauder bought it for $135 million a century after Klimt, the most famous Austrian painter of his time, completed the society portrait. Anne-Marie O'Connor, writer for the Washington Post, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, tells the galvanizing story of the Lady in Gold, Adele Bloch-Bauer, a dazzling Viennese Jewish society figure.

Terrible narrator for a great book
Revisado: 08-21-15
If you could sum up The Lady in Gold in three words, what would they be?
fascinating, intriguing content
What other book might you compare The Lady in Gold to and why?
The hare with the amber eye -- both books deal with art and war and offer a lot for the imagination.
What didn’t you like about Coleen Marlo’s performance?
She rushed through the narration. With a good narrator, the listener would be able to savor the words. This is a book that sparks the imagination, but the hastily read language does not allow the mind the freedom to explore. It sounded like the narrator is paid by the book, and she read as fast as possible to get through it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I like to savor my books.
Any additional comments?
I would buy this again with a different narrator.
