After several volumes of fiction, Sena Jeter Naslund had her first great success with Ahab's Wife. Since then she has published Four Spirits, Adam and Eve, and Abundance. The latter focuses on the life of Marie Antoinette. Her new novel, The Fountain of St. James Court explores the lives of both the real life artist who painted the French queen and a fictional writer who writes her novel telling the painter's story.
