Annie McDee, down-at-heel chef, unlucky in life and love, finds herself plunged into a whirlwind of high art, scurrilous intrigue and the possibility of proper, bona fide romance, all after the purchase of an apparently innocuous painting from a tumbledown junk shop. Hannah Rothschild’s assured fictional debut is a nimble, knowing and wise tumble through the contemporary art scene and currently features as our Fiction Book of the Month for April.
‘Both a satire of the art world and a romance … It's mischievous, fun and on the money’ - Tatler
