However, Carol Loeb Shloss reveals a different and more dramatic truth in \u003cem\u003eLucia Joyce\u003c\/em\u003e: Joyce loved Lucia and they shared a deep creative bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLucia was born in a pauper's hospital and educated haphazardly across Europe as her penniless father pursued his art. She wanted to strike out on her own, and in her twenties emerged, to Joyce's amazement, as a harbinger of expressive modern dance in Paris. Lucia was a child of the imaginative realms her father created, and even after emotional turmoil wrought havoc with her and she was hospitalised in the 1930s, he saw in her a life lived in tandem with his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough most of the documents about Lucia have been destroyed, in this important book, Shloss painstakingly reconstructs the poignant complexities of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844547105004,"sku":"9780747574132","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4450d78377381197831746bc5e2fe986.jpg?v=1758847368"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/carol-loeb-shloss.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
