Jennifer Cody Epstein's epic brings to life the woman behind the lush, Cezannesque nude self-portraits, capturing with lavish detail her life in the brothel and then as a concubine to a Republican official who would ultimately help her find her way as an artist. Moving with the tide of historical events, The Painter from Shanghai celebrates a singularly daring painting style - one that led to fame, notoriety, and, ultimately, a devastating choice: between Pan's art and the one great love of her life.

Could have been better with a different narrator

Any additional comments?
I can’t believe this narrator narrated so many books. She is just terrible. Forget that she doesn’t pay enough attention to appropriate pace or mood; what’s really annoying is that she pauses arbitrarily in mid-sentences instead of in the appropriate place where punctuation marks should be. It’s very distracting.
The story was nice though a bit confusing in places.

Graham Greene’s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.

What does Colin Firth bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?
The range of emotions that Colin Firth manages to express by his mere voice is extraordinary.
