Learning to See by Elise Hooper
Discussion Leader- Adrienne Lee
Saturday, May 30, 12:00 -1:30pm
Summer Book Club is back! Adrienne will kick off the season with Elise Hooper’s Learning to See.
Learning to See is a historical novel about Dorothea Lange, the pioneering documentary photographer who captured iconic images of the Great Depression and the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. A gripping read for fans of The Aviator’s Wife, Loving Frank, and Before We Were Yours.
“A powerful and timely view of America told through the lens of Dorothea Lange, a fascinating woman whose photographs shone a light on the nation’s forgotten and abandoned…Detailed and thoroughly immersive, Learning to See grips the reader and highlights an important period in American history.” – Chanel Cleeton, author of Next Year in Havana
“Hooper deftly balances the fascinating historical fabric of the novel with the personal life of its complicated protagonist.” – Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of The House of Hawthorne and Hemingway’s Girl
“Written with grace, empathy, and bright imagination, LEARNING TO SEE gives us the vivid interior life of a remarkably resilient woman. Dorothea Lange’s story is about passion and art, love and family, but also about the sacrifices women make—and have always made—to illuminate the truth of the world.” – Danya Kukafka, national bestselling author of Girl in Snow

What People Are Saying about Adrienne Lee
Adrienne is a delight. You can tell Adrienne loves art history and it comes through in her presentations. She makes it fun and interesting, never a dull moment. I really enjoyed the Frida Kahlo presentation. JC 4-1-17
I can honestly say I have not enjoyed an art lecture nor art lecturer as much since seeing videos of Rosamond Bernier at the Orlando Museum of Art. Now we have Adrienne Lee to carry on in this fine tradition of informing and entertaining. LL 3-27-17
I thoroughly enjoyed Adrienne Lee’s lectures on Frida Kahlo; they were educational, entertaining and thought-provoking. I look forward to attending the exhibit at the Dali on Friday armed with all this information and insight. SS 3-27-17
Adrienne is a masterful, knowledgeable,engaging lecturer whose passion for the subject shined throughout the lecture. You are lucky to have someone of her caliber at your fine establishment. SG 3-27-17
Adrienne Lee lectures with authority and wit! She has obviously delved deeply into the subject at hand to be able to give a 90 minute detailed lecture and field questions from the audience without a pause. Her delivery of facts and references is flawless…amazing. CP 3-26-17
