From the author behind the bestselling novel 鈥淗ow to Make an American Quilt鈥� comes this finely woven novel about the intersecting lives of eight women who would become eight of the most famous female photographers of the 20th century. Based on the lives of such visionaries as Amadora Allesbury, Clara Argento, and Lenny Van Pelt, 鈥淓ight Girls鈥� spans different places and times to capture the unique narratives of these artists who sought meaning through their art. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a very strong, very sophisticated women鈥檚 novel,鈥� says Nelson.
