rhonaea 's review for:

The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith

5.0

I find it hard to convey how much I relished this novel on every level. It’s beautifully written and exquisitely expressed. The three stories are absorbing with well developed characters. There is a distinct sense of time and place in each of the stories - 1630s Amsterdam, 1950s New York, Millennial Sydney. The themes are strong with the art mimicking many - fakery, loneliness, desolation. I enjoyed this so much, if you like something unusual and have an interest in art, I’d encourage you to read it.
