Life Drawing deals with the consequences of betrayal. Augusta (Gus) and Owen are leading a secluded life to pursue their individual creative efforts and to continue healing after an adulterous affair threatened their marriage. The arrival of a new neighbor, Alison, interrupts and forever alters their solitary existence. Alison's attempt at recovery in seclusion is from an abusive marriage, and she quickly bonds with the reclusive Gus. Alison's grown daughter, Nora, becomes an integral part of their lives when she arrives for a visit. I had to suspend disbelief at Alison's tacit approval of Nora's involvement with Owen and her facile sharing of confidences with an obviously immature daughter. This is an easily-read book with a shocking conclusion. I am grateful to LibraryThing for allowing me to read this book as an Early Reviewer.
