Book Reviews
Gable has crafted another page-turner of a good read, filled with history, mystery and a dash of romance. This is the sort of fun, escapist read that is beloved by books clubs. There are characters to love, characters to hate, enticing settings and a requisite amount of plot twists.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram


Plot-master Gable’s affection for hidden treasures emerges again in her second absorbing novel. Readers are kept guessing ’til the end in this sweet story of love, mystery, art, literature, and Paris. As complex and moving as Naomi Wood’s Mrs. Hemingway and Liz Trenow’s The Forgotten Seamstress.
Booklist


Gable writes an engaging story, and both worlds—Annie's in 2001 and Pru's in 1973—are easy to slide into. Readers will root for both women as they uncover family secrets and discover hidden aspects of themselves. The riddle of the story is easily guessed, but that doesn't distract from the novel's overall charm. —Jennifer Mills, Shorewood-Troy Lib., IL
Library Journal


Gable tells an engaging story.... Blending fact and fiction in an entertaining but occasionally confusing way..., [some parts are] hard to believe, yet it's [a] fine tribute to a one-in-a-million [historical] character despite a few hard-to-swallow plot devices.
