The real life media maven

Olaf Olafsson lives two dramatically distinct lives: he’s a prolific author whose novels have won the admiration of critics and readers alike, and he is one of the top media executives in the country, now Executive Vice President of Time Warner. In his latest, RESTORATION, Olafsson delivers an epic story of a forged Caravaggio, love, betrayal and redemption, and a stunning depiction of the ravages and turmoil of war in the tradition of The English Patient and Atonement. Through “passages of haunting elegance” (The New York Times Book Review) Olafsson brings to life the breathtaking landscape of Tuscany in the 1940s, and throws readers into an emotionally searing, beautifully told tale.
