The Marriage Portrait
by Maggie O'Farrell
Good ending but did not live up to the hype.
While I appreciate what the author explained she was trying to do (give the real Lucrezia a real story from the little we know about her), I just felt like the story lagged and didn’t pick up until the very end. I don’t regret reading it. I enjoyed it for the most part. It is just different than the type of historical fiction than I typically prefer.
