I recently went down a rabbit hole looking at Pierre Auguste Renoir’s paintings, especially the soft light and warmth in works like Luncheon of the Boating Party, and now I am craving a novel that captures that same feeling of intimacy, color, and everyday beauty. I am hoping for something character driven, maybe set in late 19th or early 20th century France, with rich sensory details and a focus on relationships, art, or leisure rather than heavy plot twists. Does anyone have a book recommendation that feels like stepping into a Renoir painting?
