"e;Both a glimpse into daily life at a famous art school, and a tempestuous love affair; a month-long saga of life transformed, memorable to the very end."e; - Midwest Book Review "e;An elegant and eloquent narrative of seduction and sensual awakening, against the backdrop of the last summer of Kokoschka's famed international art school in the historic city of Salzburg."e; - Miriam Frank, author of MY INNOCENT ABSENCE "e;Beautifully written, sensual and heartfelt. Gloster captures the reader quickly, providing insights into the emotional workings of a young woman's mind. I believe every woman will relate to this story. As a male I found it eye-opening."e; - Robert Tulipan, author of ROCKIN' IN THE NEW WORLD Marcia Gloster was a college student traveling through Europe in the summer of 1963. When she arrived in Salzburg, Austria to study at Oskar Kokoschka's School of Vision, she envisioned a month of intensive painting, never expecting to find herself swept into a passionate affair. Nor did she imagine her lover to be a married instructor with a long history of indiscretions. Even at a young age, Marcia knew how to protect her heart. But it had never been taken by a man as overwhelming and sensual as Bill Thomson. 31 DAYS is the story of Marcia and Bill in Salzburg. 31 days that would redefine love, sex, passion, and permanence for a woman of twenty; and a month that would resonate in her life forever. Deeply sensual, intensely vivid, and achingly beautiful 31 DAYS is a memoir that lives in all of us.
