The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro - This novel is a fascinating look into what makes an old painting an old painting. At first I was somewhat annoyed by the voice of a superior-sounding narrator who is always explaining and commenting and assuming. As the story comes together though, she calms down, and it gets better and better. The city of Boston, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and a famous fictional painting figure as prominent characters in the novel as well as the "forger", the dealer, the gang at the bar, and Isabella herself. This morning I came to the point where I couldn't put it down until I'd finished. Enjoy!
