DESCRIPTION:
An Excellent Read Lolly Anderson takes you on a wild ride from New York to Virginia, from Paris and Jerusalem to Germany and California. Her character's chance offering to a collegue to visit the home of her mentor has an unexpected result. She is plunged into a sequence of events that threaten to shake her concept of what is real and what is forgery. Her life and her love will be forever changed. Full of historic facts and her own creative twists, this was. Millie has two love interests, providing the author an opportunity to riff Laurie Wynn Golden Romancing VERMEER As a Vermeer fan, I read the cover at the library and checked it out. It was surprising how Lolly Anderson's book took hold of me over the weekend. A little known possible Vermeer painting becomes a "character" in this novel. I ignored my own writing and kept picking up this book. There are many men in Millie's life. Bill died in an accident, but still has a hold on her. His mother Lee is noted as Millie's mentor, but she. Very good story!! Duke I liked this book a lot mainly because it was just a really good story. However, in addition to that, the author is obviously very knowledgeable about the topic of art and provided lots of interesting details. I read for pleasure but also to learn and I absolutely love it when the two purposes are fulfilled by the same book!! And coincidentally (but fortunately) for me, the timing was perfect. The film, Monuments Men will be released soon
