When I saw this on the shelf I knew I'd read about, or well seen, it on some list. And I know the famous painting and generally like historical fiction so I thought it'd be nice as like my 'fluff' read.

Unfourtionately it was rather disappointing. Like there was passing mention of but really nothignt o do with the painting. I was sad. Instead the titled worked more with themes and all.

Maybe I'm just getting tired of writing out here my book reviews, but all in all not much to say.

A decent read if you're bored. And I think that a few interesting ideas were brought up. But obviously nothing stuck with me that much.
