About Peggy: A Novel

A dazzling novel about Peggy Guggenheim–a story of art, family, love, and becoming yourself, by the award-winning author of Under the Bridge, soon to be a Hulu limited series starring Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone. and “Godfrey brilliantly resurrects the avant-garde adventurer Peggy Guggenheim as a feminist icon for our times. and “–Jenny OffillVenice, 1958.
