I loved Frankie from the start. I was completely caught up in her life, and I felt like I was living every moment alongside of her. The book has such an enormous scope, in trying to tell us her life story. I hadn't read anything about the story before I started and I'm glad that I didn't know anything because it was good to discover things alongside of Frankie. By the time I got to the end, it did somehow feel that Frankie's early life had been something I'd read years ago!
The art world described within the story is intriguing, and I enjoyed the wide range of characters, events and situations. If I had any criticism, it would only be that I felt the conclusion to Frankie's story wrapped itself up a little too quickly. I wanted to know more of her life at the end, and I would have happily read another 100 pages to find that out properly. Maybe I was just enjoying the book too much, and I didn't want it to end.
With thanks to Net Galley for my copy.
