riversong222 's review for:
The Last Painting of Sara De Vos
by Dominic Smith
I really enjoyed this book. Art, romance, intrigue, and a peek into the world of art curation and forgery.
HOWEVER... I listened to the audiobook. And I have a beef.
It isn't that hard to do some very simple research and find out how Dutch words are pronounced. When the narrator said, "mevroo" for mevrouw (Muh frow) and "mädchen" for meisje, I was ready to call the producer and swear in Dutch to him. Even the main character's last name deGroot is said as "grewt" instead of "growt". Sorry, but things like this bug me.
Other than that, this was a worthy and fun read.
