The story was really well written. I think it's hard to pull off writing about art in a really impressive way, but the author does in this book. The main two characters have beliefs that they have to change through the story, and the misunderstandings and the pain of this are shown really well. I enjoyed watching the characters grow. The use of the back-and-forth narration between the two main characters is especially effective... especially the fact that each section starts just a short while *before* the previous one ended. That "rewind" is always done at the most effective locations and gives us both views of the key events.

I'm going to have to look for other books by Cath Crowley.
