I really enjoyed this book. It was pretty funny and twisted. There was a little too much art description for my taste but some people like it.
It's going to go to Zmrzlina as a part of bookrelay. I hope you like it and sorry for the delay.

Received and hoping to get to it soon. Thank you!
Delightful read! A good deal of dry art history, mixed with astonishing 17th religious history (at least it was astonishing to me), stirred with charming British humour. There is a scene towards the end of the novel involving a car towing a trailer circling St. James Park that is just so absurd it begs for a setting of its own, performed on stage.
A real Bruegel was stolen from a museum in Paris when I was reading this fictional account of the very same artist's work. Made me remember I was reading something relating to Munch when The Scream was stolen. Perhaps I should alert art authorities when I read novels relating to Masters.

Thank you Zmrzlina! The book arrived today. It looks interesting. :-)
That was a fun read! Enjoyed it a lot.
Must say, though, that the bits about art hstory were my favourites. :-)

Well this book has been around a bit - I'm pleased now that I found it! I had read it some years ago and enjoyed it....but then I love art history!
It was found amongst a small pile of books left on the side
after the Convention last Sunday afternoon...had meant to release it on my way to Paddington station the following day, but instead it decided to come back to Oxfordshire with me!
Destined for release at the Reading loves reading event at Reading town hall, Berkshire on Tuesday
