The Philosopher's Wife

Book Club, part 7

The Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century is this month's book club pick.

Sounds pretty great, right? Yeah I thought so too.

I mean, it IS an interesting topic, but the author delves off into some pretty in-depth stuff about art forgery in general and the historical perspective, etc. etc. It got to be a little too factual and took away from the actual story if you ask me.

I do like art history though, so I never found the book boring or dragging - just different than I had originally expected!
