"Excellent biographical novel well researched!

“Of course, she does not want to hear of a life without her brother, he considered. She had already lost both of her parents. Andrés was the only family she had. For Sofia, life without him would be an agony beyond contemplation.”

“Did truth have to be borne of tragedy? Jack wondered. Couldn’t nice things be true too? Why did sadness so often surround the lives of artists? Did one really have to experience sorrow to be great? Surely not!”

“The symbols cleverly embedded in works that provided codes for those who knew how to read them. A compass to show wisdom. An hourglass to show we must use time wisely. The personal tags that artists left on their paintings, barely visible unless one knew where to look. ‘It is like a hidden message,’ Monsieur explained. ‘A tiny word here, an unobtrusive object there.

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
