Private Universe
By Cornelia Feye
Private Universe is a mystery and a coming-of-age novel about a spiritual quest - a story of survival and self-discovery. Young Vega Stern works on a cruise ship traveling through the Mediterranean to escape a traumatic relationship and a guilty secret.
On her journey she experiences danger, hardship and confusion. But along the way she also encounters great art and people from various cultures who help her find herself and her inner strength.
'As with her previous books, Feye includes art history and a glimpse into our world as soon by artists. In all, a thoroughly enjoyable read by a talented writer.' - Tamara Merrill, Award-wining Author of the Augustus Family Saga Trilogy
