A review by lurdesabruscato
The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

5.0

When a Rococo master's painting resurfaces in a pawn shop and is purchased by a lovelorn cook who has little idea what she's found, everyone starts coming out of the woodwork, including wacky art historians, London fixers, a Russian tin tycoon, Holocaust survivors, a talking painting, and even a clown. Rothschild's novel feels a little Da Vinci Code-esque in mystery solving with a tiny bit of Janet Evanovich quirkiness combined. After peeling away at the surface, the bigger picture is worth admiring.
