A review by kraley
The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith

3.0

This book reminded me of The Swan Thieves and The Girl with the Pearl earring in the way the stories bounced back and forth between the past and the present. This started out pretty darn slow, but by the time the beatniks depart, it's pace is better. As with other books about paintings,I wanted to see and stare at this painting. After the DiVinci code, didn't you go and peruse all of those works? Eleanor stares and stares at the painting and I left the book feeing like a picture is worth more than a thousand words because I still am left wanting. We are reading this for book club and I know it will. Ring in some interesting discussion.
