4.0
The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis takes place in Grand Central during the 1920s and the 1970s. Following the stories of 2 women, art teacher Clara Darden through the 20s and divorcee Virginia Clay. Clara teaches art classes in Grand Central during a time when the opinions and talents of a woman aren't appreciated and she has to fight for recognition and better treatment. Clara finds and loses love twice throughout her journey.
Virginia is a divorcee and cancer survivor who has to try to make her way in the world once her marriage is over. After exaggerating her abilities as a legal secretary, she is offered a position in the information booth at Grand Central and find the abandoned art studio, where she discovers a painting that may be the work of the mysterious Clyde and sets off on her own journey to prove it is really a Clara Darden.
I enjoyed the story, particularly Clara's part during the 1920s.
