I enjoyed this fictional story about Alizee Benoit, an American artist working on a mural for the WPA who disappears and no one knows what happened to her, even many years later. The story alternates between Alizee's great-niece's search for information about her and Alizee's life prior to her disappearance. The story seemed particularly relevant to today as the story covers the White House politics of preventing visas for Jews to come to America. I enjoyed the author adding the well known artists, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner as Alizee's friends, allowing me to step into their world for a while. Unfortunately, this story really didn't provide much history as most of the storyline and the main characters were fictionalized. Still an entertaining art-oriented read.
