Lara Siscar, a well-known journalist for TVE, proves she is just as skilled with a pen as she is on camera. Her prose is described as "enveloping and delicate," perfect for a story set in the halls of the world’s most famous museum.
The book dives into the real-world history of Courbet’s "cursed" painting, which traveled from Paris to Budapest and was even rescued from Nazi looting.
The structure makes it a "fast read," often ending chapters with cliffhangers that make it hard to put down. Where to Find the eBook (EPUB)
