Louis C. Tiffany invited to one of his famed dinners, of his stuffy male friends to Laurelton Hall, his magnificently gilded mansion. The evening opened with a parade of young women and children bearing bouquets of peacock feathers and carrying silver platters of the roasted birds. It was as lavish as it was decadent. Misogynist, too. It was his Peacock Feast, a pageant, and its spectacle was reported, with photos, in the New York Times.

The Top Ten of —NJ. AudioFile, Earphones Award Winne r. Tiffany, the eccentric glass genius, dynamites the breakwater at Laurelton Hall—his fantastical Oyster Bay mansion with columns capped by brilliant ceramic blossoms, and a smokestack hidden in a blue-banded minaret—so as to foil the town from reclaiming the beach for public use. Nearly a century later, Prudence receives an unexpected visit at her New York apartment from Grace, a hospice nurse and the granddaughter of Randall, who Prudence never saw again after he left at fourteen for California. With psychological acuity and aching eloquence, Lisa Gornick has written a sweeping family drama, an exploration of the meaning of art and the art of dying, and an illuminating portrait of how our decisions reverberate across time and space. Swerves and fatal mistakes abound. The Peacock Feast is marvelously rich in character, event and locale.
