Review of 'The Marriage Portrait' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A well-written historical novel. It begins in medias res creating the tension that pervades the book and that might be necessary to keep you going through the descriptions of a young noble girl's life in 16th-century Florence. The ending is satisfying but it's telegraphed and quite artificial.
