Czeizler Rose Visontay's full, pulsating life snapped when, on the last day of 1971 her adored daughter, Kathy, died leaving behind two children. From these grandchildren and the two grandchildren from her second marriage Rose drew the conviction that life must go on.
When she was sixty the author started flirting with art, and this flirting grew into a great love, and from this association she became not only a creative artist but also a fine storyteller.
Czeizler Rose Visontay who is today a respected artist in oils and ceramics, lives in Sydney. Through 'Boutique' she not only recounts her own and family's history but at the same time she has illustrated a whole era that is projected as on a screen before the readers eyes.
