The Portrait of a Mirror by A. Natasha Joukovsky

3.0

A 3.5 stars. Although the main story is enjoyable, my reading experience was hindered by the constant business talk. The highly privileged world view of the characters, despite being a requirement for this particular book, didn't help the matters. The characters are memorable and the writing is exquisite, it still couldn't completely pull me in.

The main conflict of the story was well sketched out but didn't reach anywhere satisfactory in the climax. There were only two possible endings to this book and unfortunately I was rooting for the one our author didn't go for.

Still, the portrait of a mirror is a well written book with adequate amount of art talk. Read it for it's take on art, privilege and fidelity.
