4.0

The details really make this book. O’Farrell is so precise and captures the view of a young artist so effectively. A master of personification. She also does a great job of conveying the different stages of Lucrezia’s life from a child to a teenager. It might have been a touch overwritten; the middle did feel a bit excessive.
