The Forgery of Venus: A Novel

Picked this one up because it sounded interesting and the author is local. Turns out the author's wife is some sort of distant relative of my husband as well. I found the book difficult to put down and yet I never really connected to the characters. The plot I summarized to my husband as "If you were a famous painter in a previous life and while recalling past lives you paint one of his lost masterpieces is it a forgery?" This novel explores some of the shadier sides of the art world and the nature of sanity.
I'd lent this one to a friend. He brought it back when we had dinner together. I gave it to another friend who had joined us for dinner. Hope she enjoys it.
