Urokliwa i subtelna powieść Susan Vreeland to zapis historii jednego obrazu, począwszy od chwili, która przyniosła natchnienie artyście, poprzez kolejne etapy losów dzieła, kiedy to przechodziło z rąk do rąk, bywało ukrywane albo zapominane, by w końcu spokojnie wypłynąć na powierzchnię.

I got this book from my library's last used book sale for $.50 (hey, when did they get rid of the cent symbol from keyboards?). I had never heard of the book or the author but I figured I love historical fiction and I love books about art so this was probably a winner. And turns out, I was right. I ...
