Interpretation Toward Books The Improbability of Love

A dazzling, witty and tenderly savage satire of London life and the art world that is also a surprising and wonderful love story.

When lovelorn Annie McDee stumbles across a dirty painting in a junk shop while looking for a present for an unsuitable man, she has no idea what she has discovered. Soon she finds herself drawn unwillingly into the tumultuous London art world, populated by exiled Russian oligarchs, avaricious Sheikas, desperate auctioneers and unscrupulous dealers, all scheming to get their hands on her painting - a lost eighteenth-century masterpiece called ‘The Improbability of Love’. Delving into the painting’s past, Annie will uncover not just an illustrious list of former owners, but some of the darkest secrets of European history – and in doing so she might just learn to open up to the possibility of falling in love again.

Assess Out Of Books The Improbability of Love

DNF @ 52% This is probably my least favorite kind of book to review because it's a book that I was really, really enjoying at first. And while I can tell it is a good book, it just may not be good for me. Even though it has a lot of elements I enjoy--unique narrative structure, the art world, multiple perspectives, descriptive writing--it just wasn't working after the initial intrigue. The novelty wore off by about 40% or so, but I pushed through to see if maybe it would turn around. This novel

This is not an easy book to review, since I have very mixed feelings about it. It is a fast-moving thriller/rom-com/satire of the art world that centres on a lost painting by Watteau (also called The Improbability of Love) and its tangled history. This is combined with the story of the woman who buys it in a junk shop and her new life as a chef specialising in themed events for the artistic establishment. Some of the chapters are narrated by the painting, which is a convenient omniscient device

Rip roaring rollicking unputdownable read.The suspense starts on page 1- a crowd gathers to witness the sale of the most expensive painting ever sold at auction. The picture was a lost masterpiece by Antoine Watteau which has the power to inspire immense love and overpowering greed. A fascinating cast of characters are desperate to possess it- enter sheiks, oligarchs, society hostesses, scholars, politicians, the great, the good, the informed, the ignorant and the downright ugly. Rothschild

Hannah Mary Rothschild was born into British nobility. As daughter of the 4th Baron Rothschild, himself a member of a renowned banking family, she was surrounded by wealth and privilege from birth. And art too, lots of art. In 1985, she became chair of the London National Gallery's Board of Trustees, so it's no surprise that her debut novel is centred in this world. Its the story of a painting and also of the people who covet it. As the tale commences we witness a vast collection of art

Delightful and satirical, The Improbability of Love takes us deep into London's art world. Annie McDee, a young chef, buys a painting at a junk shop as a birthday present for a guy who never shows up for the romantic dinner she has prepared. Her mother thinks the painting resembles one of the Old Masters so they lug it to a museum for a comparison. Could it be a lost 18th Century painting by Antoine Watteau called "The Improbability of Love"?There is a powerful art dealer with a dark past who is

Exploration into the meaning of art and the ephemeral nature of love + a satirical look at the business of art, with a colorful cast of characters and a relatable heroine. (I received this book from Penguin Random House in exchange for an honest review.) For someone else, it could be a great life: interesting, exciting and relatively free of worry. The problem is that it doesnt happen to be the life I want. It isnt the way I planned it. Somehow the scripts got muddled up. I, Annie, am supposed

Highly entertaining but too too wordy. A fun (if quite silly) romp through the lives of the .001% spiced up with lashings of art history, banquets of food porn, the obligatory WW2 connection, a murder or two and a talking painting! What starts off as delightful fluff gets bogged down in an utter lack of editing. At the 15th repetitive disquisition on the madness of love, art's peculiar role as moral cleanser for the rich, or (really) detailed instructions on making a homemade mayonnaise while
