The Painter From Shanghai by Jennifer Cody Epstein

2.0

From the reviews I had read, I really wanted to love this book, how a woman overcomes tremendous adversity to become a famous painter ahead of her time. I kept reading through the awful detail of the painter's horrendous days as a child prostitute....that seemed Ike it was almost half the book. When she finally is rescued, the book hit a lull I just couldn't get through. I figured I was spending too much time on a book where I lost interest with every page. There were more books on my shelf worth the time so cut my losses and moved on.
