Book Review
“Stolen Beauty” by Laurie
Lico Albanese
From the dawn of the twenti-
eth century to the devastation of
World War II and beyond,
“Stolen Beauty” by Laurie Lico
Albanese, an exhilarating novel
of love, war, art and family gives
voice to two extraordinary
women and brings to life the true
story behind the creation and
near destruction of Gustav
Klimt’s most remarkable paint-
ings.
In the dazzling glitter of 1903
Vienna, Adele Bloch-Bauer —
young , beautiful, brilliant, and
Jewish — meets Gustav Klimt.
Adele embraces Klimt’s rene-
gade genius as the two awaken
to the erotic possibilities on the
canvas and beyond.
Although they enjoy a life in
which sex and art are just begin-
ning to break through the façade
of conventional society, the city
is troubled by a disturbing
increase in anti-Semitism.
Nearly 40 years later, Adele’s
niece Maria Altmann is a newly-
wed when the Nazis invade
Austria and overnight her
beloved Vienna becomes a war
zone.
When her husband is arrested
and her parents are forced out of
their stately home, Maria must

summon the courage and
resilience that is her aunt’s lega-
cy if she is to survive and keep
her loved ones and their history
alive.
Impeccably researched and
lushly rendered, “Stolen Beauty”
intertwines the tales of two
remarkable women across more
than a hundred years.
It juxtaposes passion and dis-
covery against hatred and
despair, and shines a light on our
ability to love, destroy, and
above all, to endure.
Laurie Albanese has pub-
lished fiction, poetry, journal-
ism, travel writing, creative non-
fiction, and more.
tion.
It’s an essential necessity for
the impatient, emotionally dis-
tanced and/or faraway, busy
multitaskers, those unfamiliar
with mental conditions and goal
oriented people.
It is perfectly all right to see
yourself in that list. This book
will help with acknowledging
the presence of brain injury, soul
searching about what you can
contribute, offers resources, and
helps make you feel better about
yourself when someone with a
brain injury enters your life.
Local Author Tarno Greene
Discusses Brain Injury
Robert Leo Heilman, author
of “The World Pool: A Literary
Variety and Overstory — Zero:
Real Life in Timber Country”
will be reading from his books

Heilman, from Myrtle Creek,
Oregon, has worked in the tim-
ber industry as well as many
other occupations, and is a
strong library supporter.
His essays are about small-
town life in timber country
Oregon. This after-hours pro-
gram is free, open to the general
public and light refreshments

Don’t forget that local author
Tarno Greene will speak at the
library this Friday, March 24 , at
2 p.m., about her book, “I’m
Inside, Y’Know: Traumatic
Brain Injury and You.”
Traumatic Brain Injury,
PTSD, Alzheimer’s, brain infec-
tion, senility and other compro-
mised conditions all have com-
mon symptoms.
And all the symptoms are
frustrating.
“I’m Inside Y’Know” is help-
ful for those of us with infinite
patience and minimal expecta-

Join Surfrider Foundation’s
Oregon Policy Manager and
members of the Siuslaw
Chapter in celebrating 50
years of Oregon’s Beach Bill.
A discussion about this
groundbreaking legislation
will be held on Monday,
March 27, at 6:30 p.m., in the
Bromley Room at the Siuslaw
Public Library.
The evening will feature a
special presentation about this
landmark legislation and how
this year presents us with leg-
islative opportunities to renew
our investment in Oregon’s
beach legacy.
Oregon’s 362 miles of pub-
lic ocean beaches are the sig-
nature feature of the Oregon
coast.
Oregon beaches remain
wild and rugged, due primarily
to the 1967 Beach Bill legisla-
tion, which forever granted
public access and limiting
development on our dry, sandy
beaches.
In this anniversary year cel-
ebrate and advocate for contin-
ued protection of Oregon’s
coastal beach legacy.
Whether an inland day-trip-
per, weekend warrior or die-
hard coastal resident, beaches
are our birthright and a place
of cultural, recreational and
economic significance.
Unfortunately, Oregon’s
beaches face increasing prob-
lems of visitor safety, access,
increased marine debris,
beachfront armoring, sand
removal and a rising and
expanding range of recreation-
al uses.
These issues are driven by
growing tourism in all sea-
sons, unabated demand for
ocean front development, and
increasingly severe storm and
erosion events due to climate-
driven changes in the ocean,
all of which are likely to per-
sist.
