EVENT FOR ADULTS
Adult Book Discussion
Thursday, June 21, at 10:00am
Location:
In the downstairs Archer Room (through the lobby stairwell)
Sign-up Required
(event is over)
Join us in the lower-level Archer room as we discuss Dominic Smith's 2016 novel "The Last Painting of Sara De Vos".
Parallel narratives unfold and eventually converge in this multi-layered novel, which explores the legacy of fictional 17th-century Dutch painter Sara de Vos. The artist's masterpiece, At the Edge of a Wood, is stolen from Manhattan attorney Marty de Groot's Upper East Side residence in 1957 and replaced with a skillfully executed forgery that remains a secret for decades -- until museum curator Ellie Shipley, who created the fake, is confronted by the two versions of the painting. Don't miss this richly detailed and complex meditation on art and identity by the author of Bright and Distant Shores.
