‘I want to paint you,’ he whispers. In his high-ceilinged studio filled with golden light she takes in the canvases propped against every wall, the paints like jewels. She thinks of the pictures she longs to paint, of her lost little girl playing in sunlit gardens. Will she ever see her daughter again?”

As usual, not everything that sparkles is so shiny and beautiful In reality.

The novel takes the reader in a brand bohemian Paris setting, a place for artists to create without judgment, a place to fall in love without being constricted by the social scales expectations. But also a place to lose yourself in lies and betrayal.
My heart hurt so many times for Mimmi.

A strong woman that just wanted her daughter back but she had to go through so much pain and suffering for her to loose her again.

The prose is beautiful with interesting characters and a story that many readers will hopefully enjoy as much as I did.
