Longlisted for the International Man Booker Prize A New York Times Top 10 Best Book of the Year An Economist Best Book of the Year Longlisted for the Best Translated Book Award The story of Urbain Martien lies con-tained in two notebooks he left behind when he died. In War and Turpentine, his grandson, a writer, retells his grandfather's story, the notebooks providing a key to the locked chambers of Urbain's memory.But who is he, really? There is Urbain the child of a lowly church painter; Urbain the young man, who narrowly escapes death in an iron foundry; Urbain the soldier; and Urbain the man, married to his true love's sister, haunted by the war and his interrupted dreams of life as an artist. Wrestling with this tale, the grandson straddles past and present, searching for a way to understand his own part in both. As artfully rendered as a Renais-sance fresco, War and Turpentine paints an ex-traordinary portrait of a man, re-vealing how a single life can echo through the ages.

Booo
Color: Pink, Size: Medium
Way too big for, I'm so bummed because this knit polo long sleeve shirt is way too big, even after I checked the size guide. It's a shame because the material feels pretty nice. I was really looking forward to wearing this. I can exchange it for a smaller size and that was too big. Lol

Nice Look
Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I love this sweater and everything about it. I purchased for family Christmas photos. I was worried it wouldn't look right or would fit too big. It fitted perfectly and gave me a very casual look. The color is white and not an off white. The quality is good and the fabric durable. It's stretchy so its flexible with your body movements. I highly recommend this sweater I'd you're looking for a light casual look. I recommend pairing with some jeans and a nice pair of boots.
