An odd story about father daughter relationships. Being neither, not the intended audience, I had some trouble understanding what was going on beneath the surface.

Three women, separated by centuries, but with a shared love of art, make up this novel. In Renaissance Italy, Antonia is the daughter of a prominent painter and has inherited his talents, even though her gender does not allow her to officially pursue art. In the present day, Toni's father is commissioned to paint a copy of one of Antonia's father's works. Finally, in the future, Toniah works as an art historian and seeks to discover a work by Antonia. This book was well-written and fairly engaging. It was... fine. And then it ended very abruptly, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. A nice work, but ultimately forgettable.
