ReviewsI am very happy to see the way Aileen has captured the essence of Giverny in the beautiful text and photography of Everyday Monet., "Aileen has captured the essence of Giverny in the beautiful text and photography of Everyday Monet." -- Meryl Streep "Aileen knows Monet's home and garden at Giverny like few others. Her photographs in particular are worth the price of the book, for they are some of the most sensitive images I have seen of Monet's property." -- -- DEREK FELL, Master Gardener and Author of THE MAGIC OF MONET'S GARDEN
