The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild is a witty, satirical novel that blends art, history, romance, and intrigue. 
The story follows Annie McDee, a struggling chef who stumbles upon a lost masterpiece, unknowingly igniting a whirlwind of greed, deception, and desire among collectors, critics, and criminals. 

Rothschild’s deep knowledge of the art world shines through, offering a sharp critique of its excesses while weaving a compelling mystery.

The novel’s humor, richly drawn characters, and vibrant storytelling make it an engaging read. Though slightly overlong, its charm and depth make it a delightful exploration of love, art, and second chances.
