Sent in a box of books to Calif Book-Lover. Enjoy!!
Highly enjoyable book for this art student. My (online) classes are currently covering such topics as perspective and color, and featuring some of the very same artists who receive a lot of focus in this plot (Matisse, Picasso). Wild plot. No fully sympathetic characters since even the protagonist runs her own cons. Multiple cons, in fact. Which makes for an intriguing, unpredictable story line!
Another goodie from calif-booklover. I need a new bookshelf!
