Painting Churches by Tina Howe
Painting Churches is Tina Howe’s moving and hilarious portrait of a family of artists falling apart and coming together. Gardner (a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet), and Fanny (a flamboyant aesthete) Church are aging Bostonian bluebloods in the process of moving out of their Beacon Hill home into their summer cottage on Cape Cod due to the shambles their lives have become. They have invited their daughter, Mags, who is on the verge of artistic celebrity as a portrait painter, to come and help them with the move.
