The flames / by Haydock, Sophie,author.;
"The Flames is the previously untold story of four real women, the 'muses' who inspired the charismatic but controversial artist, Egon Schiele. The four women are Adele, the spirited but slightly outrageous and untamed daughter of a good family, who, along with her quieter and more conventional sister, Edith, is scandalised when the notorious artist moves into an apartment opposite their home; Gertrude, Egon Schiele's fiery sister who is also a victim of their tempestuous childhood; Vally, a poor but strong-willed model discovered by Gustav Klimt. With Egon Schiele poised on the brink of international success and the threat of war drawing closer, each woman attempts to write her own future until an act of betrayal changes everything."--Provided by publisher.

The truth about luck : what I learned on my road trip with Grandma / by Reid, Iain,1981-;
In the Truth about luck, Iain Reid, author of the highly popular coming-of-age memoir One bird's choice, accompanies his grandmother on a five-day vacation--which turns out to be a "staycation" at his basement apartment in Kingston. While the twenty-eight-year-old writer is at the beginning of his adult life, his ninety-two-year-old grandmother is nearing the end of hers. Between escorting his grandma to local attractions and restaurants, the two exchange memories and she begins to reveal details of her inspiring life story. Told with subtlety, humour, and heart, this delightful comic memoir reflects on family connections; how we experience adversity, the passage of time, and aging; and most importantly what it truly means to feel lucky.
