The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
4.5
Beautifully written, a very atmospheric narrative. Really liked the way the story was build, in almost an investigative way, where at every page you go collecting and arranging the pieces together. Altought I was half expecting part of the ending, that did not spoil the experience at all. In a way, the story reminded me of Once upon a time in Hollywood.
I ended the book feeling satisfied, but somehow wanting for more, to loose myself a little bit longer on that story.
For me, this is a book to be savoured, so don’t rush the reading. Must say that I am excited to read more of O’Farrell’s work.
