Summary: Born into a wealthy Parisian family at the center of Belle Epoque society, 18-year-old Aimée Savaray dreams of becoming a respected painter in the male-dominated art world; and secretly, she also dreams of being loved by Henri, the boy her parents took in as a child and raised alongside her.
A few years ago I discussed my love of art novels. Novels of painters, novels of paintings, rediscovered masterpieces, forgeries, you name it, I've read it. (Since that post I've furthered my obsession – there might be a part two on its way!) There's just something so romantic about art that instantly calls me to it and Girl in the Afternoon is no exception: when it arrived unannounced at my door one day, I was immediately intrigued with its talk of scandal and France and Manet.
Aimee Savaray and Henri were raised as siblings after her wealthy parents took the boy in as a child. As they grew they developed a passion for drawing and painting and over time, that constant closeness led to passion elsewhere. A secret kiss, a whispered I love you and suddenly Henri was gone without a trace. Try as she might, Aimee slowly realizes that if Henri doesn't want to be found, there's nothing she can do to change that.
Art brings Aimee both comfort and sorrow and it's under Edouard Manet's training that she stumbles upon a clue that could lead her back to Henri. With their reunion, however, comes long-held secrets that could destroy the family and tear them apart for good.
I inhaled this book. From page one I lived and breathed its words, its imagery. The relationship Aimee and Henri had as children – they know the other better than they know themselves – to the afternoons spent sitting for one of Manet's paintings, everything about Girl in the Afternoon was so rich and vibrant that it felt as though I was watching a movie instead of reading.
The circumstances surrounding Henri's disappearance were definitely shocking and scandalous and the numerous attempts as reconciliation were all too heartbreaking. Naturally I loved every minute.
This is a fairly haphazard, slapdash review, but know that I though Girl in the Afternoon was stunning. With its fantastic setting to the secrets and lies scattered through these characters' lives, I was absolutely captivated and tore through this debut! This was one of those rare novels where, when I wasn't reading it, I was counting down the minutes until I could get back to it. I swooned, I gasped, I was thoroughly enchanted.
Well, you know I'm in for this one! I have a Books about Artists draft post too.
I will add this one to my list. Sounds good. It's funny, too, because I'm reading a novel about a painting right now and I'm loving it.


In November of 2016, Ingrid Hernandez Mejia's brother, Helin, was killed in Honduras. Ingrid has a photo of the body—hands and feet bound, mouth gagged, six bullet wounds, and blood. So much blood. The people who killed Helin—likely gang members—thought he left money with Ingrid, and she started receiving threatening messages demanding that she give them money she never had. People shot into Ingrid's home, threatened her children. When she changed her phone number, they figured out the new one. When she moved—three times—they always found her.
The police could not—or would not—do anything to help keep her family safe, so finally she and her husband Misael decided they had to leave their home country and try to get to the United States, where Ingrid's father lives. They packed up their three children, their birth certificates, $400 in cash, and the photo of Helin's body, and boarded a bus heading north.
Obedi Miranda and her husband, Allan Escobar are also from Honduras. They are active with the Libre party, a group opposed to the current political leadership—leadership that was established by a military coup in 2009. Allan was running for office, but had to leave town, with his wife and their 2-year-old, when people threatened his life. The family stayed in Honduras for awhile, but the outcome of the 2017 election—with likely vote tampering and the U.S. legitimization of the current leadership–heightened tensions and increased the threat of violence against political activists. The family felt they had no choice but to flee north and try to get asylum in the United States.
About 2,000 years ago, there was another young family terrorized by the threat of violence. A corrupt and violent political leader wanted to kill their son, and they realized that they had to leave their home country in order to keep their family safe. Mary and Joseph took off in the middle of the night, leaving behind their home, their community, most of their belongings. They may not have faced walls and checkpoints and detention centers when they got to the Egyptian border, but it still would have been an arduous journey.
Ingrid and Misael and their children are now living with her father in the Bronx; their life is not luxurious, but they are not being terrorized by gangs. Still, in their hometown, there are an average of three people killed per week. People who have not been able to escape the violence.
Obedi and Allan and their child made it at least as far as Tijuana, away from those who threatened them in Honduras. But at least 30 political protesters were killed by government forces in the wake of the disputed 2017 presidential election in Honduras. And many political activists in Honduras live under constant threat.
Even for those who make it safely to the border, there are certainly no guarantees. Between 2012 and 2017, U.S. officials denied 78 percent of asylum claims from Honduras.
We know that violence is not a new phenomenon. That, as bad as things may seem, we in the 21st Century are not the only people in history to deal with corrupt and inept political leadership. Immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers are ever-present in the news these days, and they have been ever-present in our world . . . since Cain killed Abel and was forced to leave his home and settle in the land of Nod.
There are a lot of hot-button issues today that the Bible doesn't speak to directly. Issues that I believe can and should be approached from a Biblical perspective and addressed with Biblical principles—but still, there is some interpretation and processing and wrestling involved. Because there is no command in scripture to de-fund jail expansion; there is no direct teaching about how to address global warming, what kinds of gun rights and regulations a community should adopt. And, at the risk of being contentious, I should point out that the Bible doesn't specifically address gay rights or abortion, either.
So here, with THE hot-button issue of the day–with all this talk of building a wall and border security and immigrants and refugees and asylum-seekers—we have a rare situation of dealing with a political controversy that the Bible does specifically address.
This teaching is repeated throughout scripture. Sometimes in even more ardent and specific terms. God tells the people to treat foreigners the same as they treat citizens. To leave grain in the fields for them to harvest. To welcome and love those who are strangers.
There is not much theological wrestling or cultural translation needed to understand how God intends for us to treat people who come into our communities from other countries.
I don't think I need to convince you of this, but I wanted to remind you of it.
And I don't mean to suggest that there are easy solutions for the US and other countries receiving a large number of refugees and asylum-seekers. The logistics of the situation are difficult. How to provide shelter and food; how to move cases efficiently through the court system; how to provide safety on all sides. The logistics are complicated.
What is not complicated is understanding how God wants us to treat foreigners: with love and welcome.
The Benedictines have a commitment to "receive all guests as Christ." The idea is that they are to treat each person who comes to their monastery the way they would treat Jesus if he showed up. This seems like a good principle for Christians to practice when it comes to guests in our country as well.
And it's not much of an imaginative leap to see Christ as a toddler with brown skin being carried across the border by his parents who are seeking the safety of a new country.


Imagine a green wall – 15km wide, and up to 8,000km long – a living green wall of trees and bushes, full of birds and other animals. Imagine it just south of the Sahara, from Djibouti in the Horn of Africa in the east, all the way across the continent to Dakar, Senegal, in the west.
The building of this pan-African Great Green Wall (GGW) was approved by an international summit this week in the former German capital Bonn, a side event of the joint conference of the committees on science and technology and for the review of the implementation of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).
The GGW, as conceived by the 11 countries located along the southern border of the Sahara, and their international partners, is aimed at limiting the desertification of the Sahel zone. It will also be a catalyst for a multifaceted international economic and environmental programme.
The Sahel zone is the transition between the Sahara in the north and the African savannas in the south, and includes parts of Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Sudan.
The GGW initiative initially involved the planting of a 15km-wide forest belt across the continent, with a band of vegetation as continuous as possible, but rerouted if necessary to skirt around obstacles such as streams, rocky areas and mountains – or to link inhabited areas.
During the meeting in Bonn, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) confirmed its promise to allocate up to $115m to support the construction of the green wall. Other international development institutions also made investment pledges to support building the wall, of up to $3bn.
The GEF – formed by 182 member governments, numerous international institutions, non-governmental organisations and the private sector – provides grants to developing countries and those with economies in transition for projects related to biodiversity, climate change, international waters, land degradation and the like.
"The Green Wall should be seen as a metaphor for the co-ordination of a variety of international projects, for economic development, environmental protection, against desertification, and to support political stability in the heart of Africa," said Boubacar Cissé, African co-ordinator for the UN secretariat against desertification.
The GGW was first proposed in the 1980s by Thomas Sankara, then head of state in Burkina Faso, as a means to stop the growing of the Sahara. The idea was voiced again about 20 years later by the then Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who presented it to the African Union (AU) in 2005.
Since then, the project has gained international support outside Africa.
The GGW would have numerous advantages. Other than stopping desertification and erosion, the wall would protect water sources, such as Lake Chad, which has been drying up for decades, and restore or create habitats for biodiversity.
In addition, the wall would provide energy resources; fruit, vegetables and other foodstuffs; support local economic development; and even political stability in the whole region, said Daniel André, of the UNCCD.
"The construction of the Great Green Wall across Africa should be the motor for international co-operation, both at the national and at the communal level, with the objective of fighting poverty," André, who is from Senegal, told IPS.
"The objective of the project is more than stopping desertification," he added. "It goes straight to the heart of the fight against poverty: it must provide people across the continent with an economic perspective to stop the youth migrating from the region, it must provide the region with a cushion against climate change, and by so doing also help to restore political stability."
André said that political stability is most important now, given the present political turmoil in the Arab world – an immediate neighbour to all 11 countries involved in the construction of the GGW.
Bernd Wirtzfeld, of the German ministry for economic co-operation and development, said that international donors were ready to support the project.
"In its current design, GGW is much more than its name or its trajectory suggest," said Richard Escadafal, chair of the French Scientific Committee on Desertification. "Its aim is to ensure the planting and integrated development of economically interesting drought-tolerant plant species, water retention ponds, agricultural production systems and other income-generating activities, as well as basic social infrastructures," Escadafal said.
Escadafal also pointed out that beyond the technical problems associated with the initiative, "its success considerably depends on the social setting in which these plant propagation and tree planting projects are conducted".
"Projects in which reforestation was put in practice without the participation of local inhabitants were almost always limited and non-sustainable," Escadafal warned. "When farmers' rights and what they could hope to get back from their labour remain uncertain, technical efforts to select the best species, to enable them to develop properly in modern nurseries using advanced planting techniques, could generate some good results, but only in the short term."

Edmund David Hollander (born September 3, 1954) is an American landscape architect and educator. A New York City native, he is the president of Hollander Design Landscape Architects, a New York-based firm known for environmental planning, landscape design and horticulture. The firm provides services to residential, commercial and civic clients.

According to Hollander, the cornerstone of his practice is his theory of the "Three Ecologies":  Ecology of site, Human Ecology, and the Ecology of Architecture.  In the introduction to his book, The Good Garden, Hollander opined: "A powerful landscape unfolds like a story. Your land is your home and within your home is the house."

Hollander has taught at the Graduate School of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania and at City College of New York.

Life and career development

Early Years and Education
Edmund Hollander was born on September 3, 1954 in New York City and grew up on Manhattan 's Lower East Side. His mother, Jean Kopelman, was a New York television producer and his father, Alvin L. Hollander Jr., was an executive at WCAU-TV in Philadelphia. He attended Vassar College from 1972-1976 and received a bachelor's degree in history and botany, then studied ecology and horticulture for three years at the New York Botanical Gardens School of Professional Horticulture. In 1983 he earned in his master's degree in landscape architecture with a focus on ecology from the University of Pennsylvania.

Design Influences
At Penn, he studied with Ian McHarg, the Glasgow-born urban planner and ecologist, whose book Design with Nature revolutionized the way landscape architects can shape the land. McHarg taught his students to look at each site as a cross-section of layers: topography, soils, geology, climate. In the studio, they practiced his "layer cake" technique of overlapping transparent sheets of Mylar, each with a schematic of hydrology, soil, and areas of forest, marshland or fragile dunes.

Other masters of design who taught at Penn, including Arthur Edwin Bye and Laurie Olin, challenged the Penn graduate students to consider every aspect of how people live in a particular place and to think about design holistically considering a site's cultural history and its place in the community, along with the site's built elements.

Personal
Hollander was married to Wendy Powers on June 20, 1992, at the Piping Rock Beach Club; the couple has a daughter, Renata. They own Freddy, a rescued schnoodle.  They live in Sag Harbor and New York City.

Career
After graduating from Penn, Hollander first worked at the Delta Group in Philadelphia, then was recruited by the firm of Clarke & Rapuano in New York City. There he worked on commissions such as the Westway Waterfront Park on Manhattan's West Side and a new ecologically based corporate headquarters for Merck Pharmaceuticals. Simultaneously, he was developing his residential design practice with Penn classmate Maryanne Connelly.

Hollander Design Landscape Architects
In 1991 Hollander founded Hollander Design Landscape Architects with Connelly. Hollander Design has offices in New York, Chicago and Sag Harbor, N.Y., and a staff of 25 environmental planners, landscape architects and horticulturists. The firm has created hundreds of landscapes, both public and private, around the world, and usually manages about 30 projects at any one time. The company's portfolio concentrates on the greater New York area including a number of summer homes on Long Island's East End as well as a roster of New York City urban multi-family dwellings.

Design Approach
Hollander believes each landscape can be analyzed by studying its three ecologies: The site's natural ecology, including topography, soil and climate; the architectural ecology of the house as it will appear in the future, along with related structures; and its human ecology, meaning the many ways in which people will use the property.
"The three ecologies essential to a timeless project," he explained to Architectural Digest, "are the architectural ecology of the buildings, the natural ecology of the vernacular landscape, and the human ecology of how the clients will inhabit the landscapes we create."
He consults with the architect involved in designing a new home or remodeling an existing structures, as well as the homeowner and family, "envisioning their lifestyle and finding out what's already there that they love." When designing a landscape, Hollander focuses on what plants and trees are appropriate for the land, favoring native species and those that will survive in the existing soils. However, he also knows that landscaping are living things, and plans for those changes to come.
Hollander, writes J. Michael Welton in Ocean Home magazine, "views his profession's commitment to every landscape as akin to the Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm. He seeks to work with the natural ecology of a site, the human ecology of his client and the architectural ecology of the building."

Teaching career
Hollander has taught at the City College of New York and in the Graduate School of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania, where he serves on the Dean's Council and has frequently lectured.

Professional Associations
 Member and past president of the New York Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
 Member of the American Society of Landscape Architects; elected as an ASLA Fellow in 2009.
 Serves on the Dean's Council of the Graduate School of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania and the Advisory Board of the Ian L. McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology at Penn.

Notable projects

Public, Non-profit or Government

Washington, D.C.
 John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, D.C.: The Reach - Hollander's firm has redesigned "landscaped paths, outdoor seating, gathering places, dining options, and an outdoor stage and a video wall" as part of a 61,000-square-foot expansion on 4.6 acres immediately south of the original 1971 structure. The redesigned landscape complements new pavilions that were dedicated in September 2019. The landscape now features a grove of 35 ginkgo biloba trees planted to honor President Kennedy, as well as curved areas planted with "sedum, a succulent grass sturdy enough to grow vertically when the curvature of the landscape calls for it." Hollander's firm  and the project architect, Steven Holl Architects, worked to harmonize the original modernist building, designed by Edward Durell Stone, with its surroundings, to make the center more accessible to the public, and to deaden the noise from nearby motorways.
 The Parks at Walter Reed, located on the grounds of the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center, courtyard project - pro bono project for HELP USA.

Commercial

New Jersey
 Merck & Company, Inc. former corporate headquarters, Whitehouse Station section of Readington, N.J., where Hollander and Connolly saved many trees before construction of the new headquarters building, which included a two-deck underground garage to preserver more of the natural landscape, began. Merck also encouraged Hollander's team to convert the 460-acre property into an "ecological laboratory," featuring native plants and elimination of lawns. Merck & Co. sold the entire property to UNICOM Corporation, a division of UNICOM Global, in 2018.
 Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, completed in 2016.

Residential
 Maycroft, a private residence in North Haven, N.Y., is a 136-year-old country house located on a 43-acre lot on which Hollander worked to save existing native plants; part of that effort was to move the existing house and turn it 260 degrees so it better fit with the existing flora.
 Villa Maria, a private residence in Water Mill, N.Y., is a one-time convent and spiritual center. The new private owners hired Hollander Design to redesign the grounds to better blend with the home.
