Publisher Description

Finalist for the Baileys Women's Prize

Annie McDee, thirty-one, lives in a shabby London flat, works as a chef, and is struggling to get by. Reeling from a sudden breakup, she’s taken on an unsuitable new lover and finds herself rummaging through a secondhand shop to buy him a birthday gift. A dusty, anonymous old painting catches her eye. After spending her meager savings on the artwork, Annie prepares an exquisite birthday dinner for two—only to be stood up. 

The painting becomes hers, and Annie begins to suspect that it may be more valuable than she’d thought. Soon she finds herself pursued by parties who would do anything to possess her picture: an exiled Russian oligarch, an avaricious sheikha, an unscrupulous art dealer. In her search for the painting’s identity, Annie will unwittingly discover some of the darkest secrets of European history—and the possibility of falling in love again.

Unique and interesting story - good read.

gerards86 ,

An excellent, well told story that may or may not have happened.

Color, mystery, intrigue, tears, disappointment, passion, and love.

Took a bit to get into this but...

...turned out to be a terrific read! Great characters (including moi), intriguing story line & such a satisfying discovery about the history of how this little painting came to be in the hands of our heroine! Really enjoyed his book!
