A2BC book club pick for January 2011
This was the first book I read for the book club I'm joining this month. The author did her MFA at Michigan while my friend who made this month's pick was working on her PhD in the same department.
I wanted to like this book more than I ended up actually liking it. I loved the rich portrayal of the art scene in Paris between the wars. I felt like many of the characters were overly contrived. I cared more about the paintings than the protagonist. I'm looking forward to this week's discussion.
