laviniag 's review for:

The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild
4.0

This was fun. Arts galore (really, lots of info on art and art world, auctions, art history & co.), definitely my cup of tea (coffee, rather, but we gotta stay British for the sake of the novel). And quite a lot of food, not your regular French fries, mind you, but Caravaggio-inspired feasts and 18th century homages with 20 courses, aspics and birds inside birds inside birds. You get the idea.
And then there's some romance and identity theft and a rococo painting (hence the title) that calls itself moi, as snobbish as a French painting can get.
