Saturday, July 29, 2023-From the archives-Episode 155, March 17, 2017-Christina Baker Kline discusses her historical novel “A Piece of the World.”  The book deals with artist Andrew Wyeth and Christina Olson, pictured in a provocative 1948 painting, “Christina’s World.”  Kline was author of the best-selling historical novel, “Orphan Train.”

From the New York Times best-selling author of the smash best seller Orphan Train, a stunning and atmospheric novel of friendship, passion, and art, inspired by Andrew Wyeth's mysterious and iconic painting Christina's World.

"Later he told me that he'd been afraid to show me the painting. He thought I wouldn't like the way he portrayed me: dragging myself across the field, fingers clutching dirt, my legs twisted behind. The arid moonscape of wheatgrass and timothy. That dilapidated house in the distance, looming up like a secret that won't stay hidden."
