Thank You to Netgalley and Penguin UK for allowing me to review this book
Well written about the art scene in New York, not really my genre but it was an enjoyable read.

Set in the arts community of New York City in 1980, this book weaves together the events in the lives of three characters. James Bennett is an art critic who was treated as an outcast in his youth. Raul Engales is an orphaned immigrant artist whose sister still resides in Argentina. Lucy Olliason has just moved to the big city from her small town to get away from her parents and seek her own path. They are tied together by their love of art and a desire to escape the past.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the character-driven storyline, but it gets a little predictable and melodramatic when a love triangle develops. I generally enjoy books that feature art, but the connection between art and the artist is missing here. Art, though purportedly central to their lives, seems more like a plot device, as does the child who appears toward the end.
