This was a lovely set of stories revolving around a painting. It begins in modern day with a story telling how the present owner's father obtained the painting. Then each successive story takes the painting back another owner. Four of the stories were published separately. Then when Susan Vreeland combined them into this book she added in the linking stories. I enjoyed the writing style, the details of everyday life, and the different perspective that the paint drew from each character.
