Book 2: The Louise Trilogy.
Over a century has elapsed since Louise sat for her portrait. The painting has passed from person to person, unsigned and unvalued. Then, in 1792, as Revolution sweeps through France, Gaston Morteau, a lieutenant in the Hussars, rescues the canvas from a canal in Holland. Louise becomes a very real presence in Gaston's life, sharing his experiences -- the trauma of war, and his meeting with Napoleon. When events force Gaston to give up the painting to the sinister Count du Bois, Louise becomes embroiled in a tale of political intrigue and Gothic horror. In the ashes of the Delft explosion, Louise made a choice for life. Now she has to face the realities of love, loss and pain that this life brings.

Look at the rainbow we were told by the presenters of the Swedish convention...so I did and ...found this book!
Taking this book to a new book group starting up in my village on Friday. Hope this book finds a new reader.
It didn't and I was obliged to bring it home again! Today I took it to London and released it in the queue to get on the London Eye.
