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

5.0

4.5 stars for me. Smith captures grimy 1950s Brooklyn and 17th century Dutch bleak winters and the harsh beauty of both equally vividly. Betrayal, love, lots and lots of art, loss, fear of discovery, and exquisitely detailed restoration and forgery processes form a backdrop to two women's linked journeys, separated by 300 years. I was totally taken in by the winding paths of their expectations and limitations, and their ultimate breaks from the traps they find themselves in.
