Feast Your Eyes by Myla Goldberg
"Feast Your Eyes" is a novel structured as a catalog accompanying a photography exhibition, exploring the life and career of Lillian Preston, a pioneering female photographer in the mid-20th century. Through the eyes of her daughter, who curates the exhibition, and through various other voices captured in the catalog notes, the book delves into Lillian's struggles with balancing her artistic ambitions with the demands of single motherhood. The narrative poignantly addresses themes of artistic integrity, societal norms, and the complexities of maternal relationships, as it unfolds the story of a woman whose controversial photograph sets off a dramatic chain of events that impacts her personal and professional life profoundly.
