The first third of the book was kind of boring and mundane; Danielle searching for her aunt an artist who worked for the WPA with the likes of Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollack, Lee Krasner and disappeared in 1940 in New York City.
After awhile I couldn't put the book down. The chapters flowed from present to past flawlessly and the story of Alizee, her artist friends and her bond with Eleanor Roosevelt felt so real, I could almost believe it happened. I love stories that combine true events with fictional and this one is no exception.
SPOILER
I wanted to cry at the end since Alizee didn't live long enough to know she didn't lose all her family during the war when Danielle stumbles on what really happened to Alizee. So sad.
