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"--Provided by publisher.
