Aprašymas

"They can burn books, steal art, destroy buildings, but the human memory and the human spirit - they can never break. And I believed it with all my heart.״

1943, Paris. Sophie Label has devoted her life to protecting the Louvre's priceless masterpieces. By day, she is a curator. By night, she forges perfect replicas so the Resistance can hide the originals before the Nazis steal them. But there is one painting more dear to her than the entire collection: The Woman in the Red Dress, a seventeenth-century Dutch masterpiece whose subject shares a striking resemblance to her late mother. When the Gestapo begins to suspect something is amiss at the museum, Sophie must decide how much she is willing to risk for art-and the one painting she cannot bear to lose.

2025, Manhattan. Isabelle Levin has spent twenty years searching for The Woman in the Red Dress, determined to fulfill her promise to return the painting to her family. When it finally goes to auction, she ignores an anonymous warning that the painting is dangerous and buys it anyway. As she tries to uncover the painting's mysterious history, Isabelle follows a trail of stolen artworks, wartime secrets, and dangerous lies, only to discover that powerful people will do anything to keep their long-hidden treasures-and the truth-buried.

A sweeping historical novel about art, war, and the secrets hidden behind a priceless masterpiece, The Art Forger of Paris is perfect for fans of Kristin Harmel, Pam Jenoff, and Barbara Davis.
