 This book speaks to people white-washing history, in this case art, in the worst way, and the hope of marginalized people reclaiming some of that power. Its theme is very current. It was an inspiring and emotional story, even though I thought a little bit of the supernatural was over-the-top. May narcissistic men like Jack always be haunted by their betters.
