Chargement... The Improbability of Lovepar Hannah Rothschild
   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) Hello9876 | Jan 6, 2024 |  One of the point of view characters is the painting itself which is an unusual moment, but I found myself guessing, correctly, a lot of the plot twists. Interesting and not bad but not a book I would re-read. I got it via Caboodles/Book Tokens website from Bloomsbury. (  ) wyvernfriend | Jul 6, 2022 | bibliotecama | Jun 20, 2022 | There is a lot going on in this book. The modern art world, art history lessons, extremely detailed food descriptions and meal planning, alcoholism, theft, suspense, romance, history, concentration camps, Russian corruption, and a talking painting, all seem to get equal time. (I know I must have missed at least 15 other topics) But it worked. (  ) curious_squid | Apr 5, 2021 |  ) janismack | Jul 6, 2020 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Annie McMorrow, 31 and not recovered from the end of her long-term relationship, is an assistant to film producer Carlo Spinetti and then to his chilling wife Rebecca Winkleman Spinetti whose father started Winkleman Fine Art in Curzon St. Annie has spent her meagre savings on a dusty painting from a junk shop to give to her new, unsuitable, boyfriend who never shows up for his birthday dinner. The painting now hers, talks, but only to us. Shrewd, spoiled, charming, world weary and cynical, he comments perceptively on Annie, and the modern world and tells tales about his previous owners: Louis XV, Voltaire, Catherine the Great among others. The story unfolds through this voice and many others--unexpected, entertaining, and strangely authentic. Annie will have her apartment ransacked and be pursued by dealers, buyers and an auctioneer in an attempt to get back the painting. With The Improbability of Love, Rothschild has spun a dazzling tale--both irreverant and entertainng--of a many-layered, devious world where, in the end, love triumphs"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
