This is a beautiful story following the lives of two woman linked through art, history, and personal mysteries. The story moves between antebellum Virginia and a modern-day New York. The truth of one, with lead to the truth of the other. It is full of heartbreak and loss, but don’t be discouraged, the truth leads to justice.

This was a short book, about 370 page in paper back, but electronically only about 150 (font size does make a difference I think). I read this book in two evenings, I could not put this book down and the writing was so easy to read. I loved Conklin’s style, it was smooth and idiomatic. Conklin did a wonderful job of describing both Virginia and New York, with just enough details to guide my imagination, but not so many the I had no creative freedom. The story line flows, and like I said I kept coming back and couldn’t put down.

I would definitely recommend this book as a light read, maybe for a weekend trip something light to keep you entertained and interested, but not so long that you couldn’t finish it on your days off.
