What is Alias Olympia : A Woman's Search for Manet's Notorious Model and Her Own Desire about?

Eunice Lipton's search for the answer combines the suspense of a detective story with the revelatory power of art, peeling off layers of lies to reveal startling truths about Victorine Meurent—and about Lipton herself.</P>
