“An ambitious reconstruction of a hidden personal life, Gabriële is Anne and Claire Berest’s biographical novel about their formidable great-grandmother... Gabriële’s story runs alongside the advent of cubism, dadaism, and other avante garde artistic styles; Belle Époque salon and cocktail party scenes at the cusp of World War I ignite its pages... Gabriële is a revealing, heartrending biographical novel about a complicated woman whose imprint on art history is undeniable.”
