The Masterpiece by Fiona DavisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Such an interesting read, Davis' book combines several of my favorites: historical fiction, mystery, architecture, art and art history.
Alternating between the 1920s and 1930s and the 1960s, the author easily moves between two main characters without the reader feeling like its watching a tennis game.
And the ability to convey the grandeur and beauty of art and architecture without the use of photography or illustration is an art in and of itself.
Weave between all of this a fascinating story about women's place in the art world without banging a righteous and indignant drum.
Well done.
