On a clear December morning in 1937, at the famous gold clock in Grand Central Terminal, Joe Reynolds, a hardworking railroad man from Queens, meets a vibrant young woman who seems mysteriously out of place. Nora Lansing is a Manhattan socialite and an aspiring artist whose flapper clothing, pearl earrings, and talk of the Roaring Twenties don’t seem to match the bleak mood of Depression-era New York. Captivated by Nora from her first electric touch, Joe despairs when he tries to walk her home and she disappears. Finding her again will become the focus of his love and his life.

Dazzled by Caroline and her friends, Dorothea is catapulted into a heady new world of freedom, art, and politics.

From rowdy Barcelona barrooms to the incandescent streets of turn-of-the-century Paris, Pablo Picasso experiences the sumptuous highs and seedy lows of bohemian life alongside his rebellious poet friend with a shadowy past, Carles Casagemas. Fleeing family misfortune and their parents’ expectations, the two young artists seek their creative outlet while chasing inspiration in drugs, decadence, and the liberated women of Montmartre - creatures far different from the veiled ones back home.

Paris, 1938. Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli are fighting for recognition as the most successful and influential fashion designer in France, and their rivalry is already legendary. They oppose each other at every turn, in both their politics and their designs: Chanel's are classic, elegant, and practical; Schiaparelli's bold, experimental, and surreal. When Lily Sutter travels to Paris to visit her brother, Charlie, he insists on buying her a couture dress for her birthday - a Chanel. Lily reluctantly agrees but wants a Schiaparelli, not a Chanel.

Mystery within the Art World
An interesting mystery surrounding art stolen during World War II by Germany and the rediscovery of this delightful cache of art. In the art world, one must deal with dealers, critics, museum directors, and others who handle art for a variety of reasons. We are given an inside look into the people and that art can be hidden in plain sight.
The author, Alice Goldfarb Marquis delivers a delightful tale of mystery in the art world. She also reveals the lives and attitudes of the experts, not all favorably! As a writer, this is not her usual genre but she delivers a vivid and realistic portrait of those who move in the art world. Art is not what it always seems to be, sometimes the true art is hidden just below the paint or in an out-of-the-way storage spot. Either way, this is a mystery that proves to not only be entertaining but captivating.
The narrator, Virginia Ferguson provides a wonderfully nuanced performance capturing the spirit of both the author and the characters. She is very skilled at the various accents and enhances the story through her performance. She spoke clearly and with a steady cadence.
I enjoyed the story but more so now that I understand Mrs. Marquis’ opinion towards those in the art world, the tongue in cheek is wonderfully delightful!
