The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis

5.0

Did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I’m not usually one for historical fiction but this book exceeded all expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. Both Clara and Virginia are beautifully flawed women, and the twist at the end actually had me gasping out loud. I was truly convinced that Clara had died along with Levon until it was revealed that she was alive all along, right under Virginias nose. The last 100 pages or so had me glued to the book, and there was never a point where I dreaded picking it back up. The switching between Clara’s time and Virginias time kept the pacing up, so I never felt bored reading it. The ending was incredibly satisfying, well done Julia Quinn.
