Maria’s Reviews > The Last Painting of Sara de Vos > Status Update

However this book ends I want to say right now that I'm dreading the last page. I've loved every paragraph: the historical aspects, the masterful prose, the characters (though they grate and frustrate they are expertly drawn), the learned descriptions of master artworks, and the clever construction of a plot that unfolds across three layers of time. I need to slow down and savour it before it's all over.
