review 1: There were parts of this book I loved: The description of the paintings as Ella created them, her interaction with most of the portrait sitters, some of the dialogue and description. But there were other parts that were a bit disappointing: the transition from hate to love went very quickly without really showing why. I was confused by the attitudes toward adultery (it's okay for you, unless you become obsessed, and it isn't okay for me at all) and the story was a bit too predictable. It was a fast, fun, read, but not in my top 50.
review 2: Rather a slow read. Essentially a 'Mills & Boon' and a rather predictable romance at that. The additional storylines of the other sitters (the storyteller is supposed to be a portrait artist) were rather flat and unengrossi... moreng. I also found it strangely devoid of any feeling of actually 'painting' - and these days I certainly wouldn't use turps for oil painting when there are low odour mixers and cleaners available - and going into someone's home and painting yet no mention of the stink it makes throughout the house? less
