An unexpected love story. I love how she is able to weave together different characters’ points of views and different time periods to tell a story.

I didn't mind this book until the last chapter. It has history, Paris, romance, war, art, grief, and self-discovery. And yet it also has the very worst ending. It's as if the book had 200 more pages but the editor told her to wrap it up in 5.
You might want to read it if you need something on a plane or beach-- something you don't ever really intend on finishing. Just make up the ending in your head before the last chapter and call it complete.
Also, 2 stars because it's just rich white people problems. I do believe we have had more than enough of that.

A sweet but realistic love story that expanded over the two main characters’ lifetime. I enjoyed this read, although it may not have had the perfect ending I would have wanted. It was sweet and kind of gave me “The Longest Ride” vibes since there was a lot of art discussed and the plot is around the same time.

There were parts of this book that were lovely. A few parts that irritated me. And plenty that made me lament the secrets and wasted time. Enjoyed it on the whole.

Kate’s mom was a prima ballerina, she had been adopted as a young girl when she showed promise as a dancer. After the death of her mother and her grandmother Kate finds a letter and a sketch of a woman claiming to be her mother’s birth mother. Kate traces the sketch to a famous artist, Thomas Stanford, and she unravels her mother’s story and discovers the truth of her family. Not a thriller, as the other books I’ve enjoyed by this author, but an enjoyable story set in London, Paris, Corsica and New York.
