The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild
4.5
adventurous emotional funny informative mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Fun and interesting read. Set in London present day, our down on her luck chef Annie buys a masterpiece from an antique  shop. This lost painting is one of the characters in the books and has fascinating and funny insights into the lives of its illustrious and famous long chain of owners. Some romance for Annie, murder, mystery, intrigue, scandal, deception, and a host of loveble and colourful characters from British scocialite Barty to Russian Oligarchs. Great holiday read, visually evocative and fun. 

There were perhaps too many charcters and points of view than necessary.
