The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell
5.0

5+ - “Sadness keeps attempting to tie weights to her wrists and ankles, therefore she has to keep moving, she has to outpace it.”

Brilliant historical fiction which now has me eager to also make the pilgrimage to the humble graveside of Lucrezia di Cosimo de’Medici in Ferrara. One of my favorite novels of the year and possibly of all time.
