Another strong female protagonist (complete with a side
order of arson issues) and a sad, complex family tale, with a bit of art thrown
in for good measure. I expect A will enjoy this one, it’s rather good for
exploring teen angst.
It’s the story of Iris, daughter of a selfish mother, who
only gets to know her father as he is dying.
Iris’s mother is a consummate gold digger, and, since she is broke and
still married to Iris’s father, she sees his death as the ideal opportunity to
get her hands on his priceless paintings.
A fabulous plot and some characters to care about and to
despise, this is a good read. It also encouraged
me to look into some new artists, so is a good one for any arty types. It’s not for little ones, secondary school
age plus. You may get some interesting
questions about arson.
