The Time Chronicles of Emily Porterfield

review 1: Emily Porterfield is an art conservationist at a Chicago museum preparing for an exhibition of Edouard Manet's work. When she finds a hidden letter from Manet, she finds herself transported back in time to meet the man himself.The plot of this book kept me well-entertained and satisfyingly sleep-deprived (as usual). The in-depth analysis of the artist's work as defined by the storyline was so fun and really well done. My complaints have mainly to do with Emily. She's slightly vapid and swoony (yep, I'm making up words as I go) for someone as educated as she is written to be. As others have said, it bothered me that Garrett was the one to figure EVERYTHING out. And also, this book needed an editor.
review 2: I'm not normally into anything fantasy related but luc... morekily the time travel aspect of this book was rather light (or not too ridiculous) and the larger story explaining Edouard Manet's iconography in his paintings and a modern day murder mystery were much more interesting. Made me miss my art history roots. Not grab you can't put it down but it is grab you premise is interesting want to read more...Looking forward to reading book #2 (not yet done)!!! less
