PROVENANCE is a thrilling and emotional tale about the redemptive power of love, the healing influence of the arts and the ultimate aspiration—freedom. In an expansive saga that weaves historical fact with fiction across five decades and three generations, PROVENANCE is about an American family determined to escape the barriers of race, class and gender.
By challenging a privileged society designed to make it impossible to achieve anything, PROVENANCE’s flawed and captivating characters succeed by gaining unparalleled access to everything. However, they must ultimately come to terms with who they are—evoking Shakespeare’s caution, to thine own self be true—or pay the price for living a lie.
“I love the rich characters that are so individual and varied. The voices of all of them are unique and distinctive. Terrific.”
“Sawyer successfully explores the meaning of family in this multigenerational saga set in the world of high-end art. [A] memorable tale of love, loss and redemption.”
