The Last Painting of Sara de Vos
The adventures of a painting, its artist and its owners. In 1630's Amsterdam, when Sara de Vos painted At the Edge of the Wood, female artists were only considered suited to painting tulips - or still-lifes. In 1957 it hangs over the bed of a rich lawyer, Marty de Groot, and its adventure starts during a bizarre dinner given by his wife. This fascinating book moves between Golden Age Holland, 1950's Brooklyn and London 2000. Beautifully written, well researched and a pacey storyline make it a joy to read.
