The Painter's Daughters
by Emily Howes
4.5 stars
HIGHLY recommend
I received a complimentary Kindle e-book in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own. Thank you to Emily Howes, Simon & Schuster, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
This was a very dense, heavy, and hard-to-read book. I knew little about Thomas Gainsborough other than the "Blue Boy" painting that resides nearby in San Marino at the Huntington Library. I have admired it and visited it many times, but never thought about the back story.
The novel is really about love at the core of it all. The story centers around Gainsborough's two daughters, Molly and Peg, and their devotion to each other. It is sad, heavy, and very hard to read.
This was a slow, difficult read because of the subject matter and the time period. But it was totally worth the read! If you like historical fiction, this is a great book for YOU!!
