>About The Book:  In Divine Sarah, Adam Braver,, whose previous novel, Mr. 
>Lincoln's Wars, was described as "richly imagined" by the Washington Post, 
>renders a portrait of the great actress Sarah Bernhardt in the twilight of 
>her career as she explores her relationship to art and asks herself, "When 
>does art become the artist?"  Sarah was truly the first international 
>star, and she caused a sensation wherever she went.  Set during the course 
>of one week in 1906 California, the novel opens with controversy.  Facing 
>protests from the League of Decency, she is forced to move her latest 
>production from Los Angeles to the new development of Venice Beach.  And 
>though this is only the most recent skirmish she has faced in her 
>tumultuous 61 years of life, Sarah is exhausted and beginning to lose the 
>will to fight.  Plagued by maladies of the flesh and the spirit, she 
>begins to search her soul, revealing the truths of her life.  With a 
>fierce imagination, lyrical delicacy, and a uniquely passionate vision, 
>Adam Braver not only gives us an unforgettable Sarah Bernhardt, he probes 
>the depths of artistry and what happens when it begins to do battle with 
>itself.
