From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Return comes a profoundly moving contemplation of the relationship between art and life.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND EVENING STANDARD
After finishing his powerful memoir The Return, Hisham Matar, seeking solace and pleasure, traveled to Siena, Italy. Always finding comfort and clarity in great art, Matar immersed himself in eight significant works from the Sienese School of painting, which flourished from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Artists he had admired throughout his life, including Duccio and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, evoke earlier engagements he'd had with works by Caravaggio and Poussin, and the personal experiences that surrounded those moments. Including beautiful full-color reproductions of the artworks, A Month in Siena is about what occurred between Matar, those paintings, and the city. That month would be an extraordinary period in the writer's life: an exploration of how art can console and disturb in equal measure, as well as an intimate encounter with a city and its inhabitants. This is a gorgeous meditation on how centuries-old art can illuminate our own inner landscape--current relationships, long-lasting love, grief, intimacy, and solitude--and shed further light on the present world around us. Praise for A Month in Siena "As exquisitely structured as The Return, driven by desire, yearning, loss, illuminated by the kindness of strangers. A Month in Siena is a triumph."--Peter Carey

Work well, no bad skin reactions
Size: 50 count (Pack of 1), Size: 50 count (Pack of 1)
I can't believe what a great deal these are! It's less than $7 (as an add-on buy) for two packets. I had already bought this brand once before so I knew they'd work for me. They remove make-up pretty well. I don't think they are the very best of all time, but they are up there with the other brands I've tried. This product states that it has no artificial dyes or perfumes. These points are really important. Any fragrance that is added to beauty products can irritate your skin, which has happened to me in the past. I do detect the slightest scent, though. It's actually rather pleasant. I think there's still a slight residue of mascara left over after using the wipes pretty thoroughly, so I only gave them 4 stars. Your experience may differ as the packaging promises to remove all makeup residue. Maybe I'm not using them properly?
I have very sensitive skin and I didn't break out or otherwise react poorly to these. They do the job as well as I think can be expected for facial wipes so I bought them again. I really hope the claims to being simply formulated are true. I have a healthy scepticism of the beauty industry. My experience with these wipes has been positive so I will take it on faith that they live up to their advertising as far as having no unnecessary additives.
One more thing: I like the idea of the added vitamins. It always cracks me up when facial cleansers advertise the addition of helpful vitamins. How can they help when you're immediately rinsing them back off your face? The addition of any vitamins to regular liquid cleansers is just a waste. They do nothing for you. That being said, when they are added to facial wipes, they are spread on your skin and stay there, since you don't generally rinse after using wipes. In this way of cleaning, you may actually be reaping some benefit from the added vitamins.

Indispensable!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 4)
I love these so much that they are part of my monthly subscribe-and-save program. They have absolutely no scent, which is great, because too many products are over-perfumed. They take off all of my makeup gently. There is no stinging or drying sensation. The cloths are well-sized and the package stays shut when not in use- the cloths do not dry out. After I use a couple of these each night to take my makeup off, I follow up with a gentle, moisturizing facial cleanser. My skin is soft, clean, and happy. I highly recommend these!
