debbiecuddy's review against another edition
4.0
I finished this short book five days ago and I'm still thinking about the questions it left me with.
-Was it a thriller about art forgers?
-Was it about the unnamed narrator's mad obsession with the mysterious art forger, Renee?
-I even wondered if Enriqueta and Renee could be the same person.
-OR-Was it really about what makes a work of art authentic?
I'm not sure what to make of this book, but I did enjoy reading it and pondering the questions it has raised for me.

coralreds's review against another edition
This entire book felt like a free flow of consciousness, with storytelling rooted deep in the innate sense of human curiosity - seeking for every single crumb we could find of a person who doesn't want to be found.
And I absolutely ate up every crumb I could find.

challenging

Somewhat confusing and convoluted; I wonder if something is lost in translation. About art forgery and a relationship with a mentor.
