Vividly detailed\, acutely sensitive to stratifications of gender and class\, it’s fiction that keeps you up at night — first because you’re barreling through the book\, then because you’ve slowed your pace to a crawl\, savoring the suspense.” — Boston Globe \nAmsterdam\, 1631: Sara de Vos becomes the first woman to be admitted as a master painter to the city’s Guild of St. Luke. Though women do not paint landscapes (they are generally restricted to indoor subjects)\, a wintry outdoor scene haunts Sara: She cannot shake the image of a young girl from a nearby village\, standing alone beside a silver birch at dusk\, staring out at a group of skaters on the frozen river below. Defying the expectations of her time\, she decides to paint it. \nNew York City\, 1957: The only known surviving work of Sara de Vos\, At the Edge of a Wood \, hangs in the bedroom of a wealthy Manhattan lawyer\, Marty de Groot\, a descendant of the original owner. It is a beautiful but comfortless landscape. The lawyer’s marriage is prominent but comfortless\, too. When a struggling art history grad student\, Ellie Shipley\, agrees to forge the painting for a dubious art dealer\, she finds herself entangled with its owner in ways no one could predict. \nSydney\, 2000: Now a celebrated art historian and curator\, Ellie Shipley is mounting an exhibition in her field of specialization: female painters of the Dutch Golden Age. When it becomes apparent that both the original At the Edge of a Wood and her forgery are en route to her museum\, the life she has carefully constructed threatens to unravel entirely and irrevocably. \n2024 BOOK CLUB DATES:\nMonday\, August 4\, 2025 — Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters by Emily Roberson\nMonday\, November 3\, 2025 — The Feather Thief by Kirk W.
