Written in an overwrought style. I couldn't stand it. Read a sample passage first to make sure you're OK with it.
Woman on Fire was my first Lisa Barr novel, but it certainly won't be my last!
The gripping plot combines the grit of investigative journalism, the glamour of fashion design, and the glittering world of fine art, then adds plenty of family drama and WWII crimes. It's the perfect blend of historical fiction, mystery, and thriller.
Barr creates two very memorable woman main characters - one I cheered for and one I loved to hate. And her descriptions are so vivid, I could see the various settings and the titular painting in my mind's eye.
I'll be first in line to buy tickets to the film made from adapting this novel. How fun to ponder actors to play key characters. Thank you to Harper and NetGalley for the review copy.
