"Clara and Mr. Tiffany" by Susan Vhreeland, was the subject of our discussion. Clara Driscoll was the designer of the Tiffany Lamps back in the early 1900's. We were pretty much divided as to who loved, liked and disliked the book. Each person felt strongly about their position. I, KD, really liked the book for the descriptions of the stain glass process as well as the story of Clara Discoll. On the opposite end was MP who wished that it had not been a historical novel but, a non-fiction account of the life and work of Clara Driscoll. Others liked the story of women's lives in the early 20th century.
