Set in a Paris darkened by World War II, the novel tells the story of a son’s quest to recover his family’s lost masterpieces — Picassos, Matisses, Monets —looted by the Nazis during the occupation. Houghteling spent a year in Paris on a Fulbright scholarship conducting research on wartime Paris, the art world, and the tragedy of looting by the Third Reich. Listen to the author discuss how she wove fact into this stunning work of fiction.
